Abstract | ||
The present study is concerned with the ideological analysis of Dr. Aziz’s utterances in E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India. The investigation isbuilt upon van Dijk’s linguistic model of ideology showing how Dr. Aziz thinks and feels towards the ‘other’.The ideological analysis exposes the type of relationship between the colonizer and the colonized. This relationship is investigated at the lexical levels of van Dijk’s model, that is, how the protagonist refers to the ‘other’ and to his community which is carried out through their use of ‘WE’ vs. ‘THEY’ and their variants. The work, accordingly, shows how the linguistic aspect of Dr. Aziz’s dialogical interactions can be helpful in disclosing his ideologies in certain circumstances through such deictic references along the three parts of A Passage to India. | ||
