Abstract

This Paper Aimsat A Narrative Analysis Of The Short Story The Tell-Tale Heartby Edger Allan Poe (1843). The Short Story Is Analyzed Through Labov’s Sociolinguistic Model (1972) By Investigating The Six Narrative Components. A Qualitative Method Of Research Is Carried Out In This Study. The Study Of The Macro Characteristics Has Shown To Be The Most Effective Application Of Labov's Paradigm Of Narrative Analysis. The Microfeatures Like Elements Of Discourse Analysis Such As Cohesive Ties, Discourse Markers, Substitutions, Ellipses, Contractions, Exchanges, Inversions, And Some Other Attributes Were Used To Explore The Representative Aspects Of The Writer’s Work. Sociolinguist William Labov Developed A Framework For Analyzing Oral Stories Of Human Experience. The Researcher Has Made An Effort To Look At How Oral Story Form Is Represented In A Written Narrative. The Study’s Findings Demonstrate How Labov’s Sociolinguistic Model Can Be Used To Analyze A Short Story's Narrative In Order To Help Readers And Students In Pursuing In-Depth Study. Additionally, It Improves Readers’ Analytical And Reading Abilities. Furthermore, The Study Supports Labov's Sociolinguistics Model’s Applicability To Short Literary Works.
