A Dynamic Contextual Analysis of Virginia Woolf, “The Waves” (a Fragment)
Abstract
The article presents an application of the methodological principles for the analysis of the literary text put forward by Tatiana Slama-Cazacu based on “the contextual-dynamic” approach in applied linguistics and psycholinguistics. This interpretation is a holistic approach which implies both a reference to the form and to the content of the literary work. This kind of approach also emphasizes the major importance which the context has by considering its various levels. The analysis of a fragment selected from the novel “The Waves” by Virginia Woolf reveals that the images, the symbols, the meditation on life identified in this fragment are present throughout the author's literary work. They also pervade not only the novels, but also the critical essays and her journal.
