Lexical Categories in Eleven by Sandra Cisneros: A Pedagogical Stylistic Study
Öz
The present study applies a checklist of linguistic and stylistic categories developed by Leech and Short
(2007) to examine the short story “Eleven” written by Sandra Cisneros. Stylistic analysis is the study that
examines the level of efficacy in the utility of words or language in a sentence or any writing. In this sense,
this study is concerned to provide stylistic analysis of the selected short story concerning its underlying
theories from a method of prose text analysis that affianced by literary stylists Leech & Short (1981) to be
able to determine its stylistic efficacy concerning lexical category. This study provides awareness in
developing and presenting a model for EFL teachers how to use this kind of analysis in EFL context. In this
regard, as the analysis is made up the aspects of lexical pattern, it would be prominently crucial in
understanding the importance of how to select literary texts for language learners to be able to promote
language learning. Thus, this study is useful and worthy endeavor in foreign language teaching as it sheds
light in the awareness of selecting appropriate literary texts depending on students’ needs, interest and levels
for not creating dilemma in learning process and demotivating learners, and clarifying to what extent
pedagogical stylistics provide contribution to learning foreign language.
