Abstract

What this article will focus on is a ‗stylistic‘ analysis of struggle for power in the play Death of a Salesman. This power struggle among the members of the Loman family is characterised by the violations of ‗turn-taking‘ and ‗politeness‘ strategies. These strategies are violated especially by the father Willy and his elder son Biff and these violations are the methods they use to gain discursive power over others. These language choices of characters will be analysed in the light of the theories by Sacks, Schegloff, Jefferson and Herman on ‗turn-taking‘ and by Leech, Brown and Levinson on ‗politeness‘ in order to reveal the dynamic nature of discursive power.

Abstract

Bu çalışma Satıcının Ölümü adlı oyundaki güç mücadelesini ‗biçembilimsel‘ açıdan incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Oyunda Loman ailesinin dört üyesi arasında kendini gösteren güç mücadelesinde bilhassa baba Willy ve oğlu Biff tarafından kullanılan dildeki ‗söz-sırası‘ ve ‗kibarlık‘ ilkelerinin ihlâli dikkat çekicidir. Bu ihlâller baba ve oğul tarafından üstünlük sağlamak ve ‗söylemsel‘ gücü elde etmek için kullanılan yöntemlerdir. Oyundaki bu güç mücadelesinde karakterlerin dil kullanım tercihleri Sacks, Schegloff, Jefferson ve Herman‘ın ‗söz-sırası‘ ile Leech, Brown ve Levinson‘ın ‗kibarlık‘ stratejileri üzerine yaptıkları çalışmalar ve ileri sürdükleri kuramlar çerçevesinde incelenecek ve söylemsel gücün dinamik yapısı ortaya konulacaktır.
