Abstract

As the most wildly read novel written by Jane Austen, the language of Pride and Prejudice is profuse and varied. The style of this fiction sometimes can be euphemistic and profound, on the other hand, sometimes are humorous and ironic. For more than five score, there are abundant researches about Jane Austen's language techniques. However, the great accomplishments of Austen's artful language are inexhaustible, which deserve a further study. The thesis intends to analyze the style and structure of narration and dialogue. Another goal is to discuss the two types of language's great affection and the way author makes the fiction iconic and dramatic by using language skills. The thesis could relate to the different aspects of the language features, nevertheless the main target lies in seizing the relationship between the language structure and the artistic effect.
