Abstract:

This volume applies a sign-oriented approach to the description of
articulatory and acoustic iconic phenomena in James Joyce’s Ulysses. In its
hypothesis, the greater the role of sensory experience in the message of a
text, the more likely it is to employ linguistic representation in articulated
sounds iconically to affect sensory experience. Ulysses is presented as a work
of art whose emphasis on sensual impression and sensory experience is
reflected in the composition and distribution of its phonemes. 

Four English phonemes are examined, each in several contexts in Ulysses. A
systematic association of resemblance is found between the manner and effort
involved in the articulation of each phoneme relative to other phonemes and
sounds, and the manner in which semantic content is arranged in the scenes and
themes of the book. The different emphases of semantic arrangement associated
with each of the examined phonemes are maintained across diverse themes,
varied scopes of reference and opposed manners of contextualization. The
phonological unit is therefore perceived to carry a semantic impact to
complement its differentiating role in linguistic signification. It also
offers an innovative approach to Ulysses and exposes new semantic nuances in
its narration and characterization techniques.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
