ARTISTIC AND THEMATIC FEATURES OF BETWEEN TWO DOORS AND LORD OF THE FLIES IN THE CONTEXT OF LINGUOPRAGMATIC STUDY OF PERIPHRASIS

Abstract

This research investigates the artistic and thematic features of Between Two Doors and Lord of the Flies within the framework of linguopragmatic analysis, with particular emphasis on the role of periphrasis as a stylistic and communicative device. The study aims to explore how indirect language expressions function in literary discourse and how they contribute to the deeper interpretation of meaning, character development, and thematic representation. Periphrasis, understood as a way of expressing ideas through indirect or descriptive language rather than straightforward naming, is analyzed in both works to reveal its pragmatic functions. The research focuses on how authors strategically use periphrastic constructions to reflect psychological states, social relationships, cultural norms, and implicit meanings. In Lord of the Flies, periphrasis is often employed to symbolize the loss of innocence, the emergence of savagery, and the breakdown of social order. Similarly, in Between Two Doors, it serves to express internal conflicts, moral dilemmas, and nuanced emotional experiences.
