Although some of his works led to critical arguments regarding style, the peculiarities of his unorthodox use of words have been hailed in the world of contemporary literature. In this study, Nabokov’s first short story The Wood Sprite is explored from a stylistic perspective. To analyze the story, a discourse analysis method was used in regards to linguistic, semantic, and stylistic elements. The findings were then presented with the textual examples from the story. Highlighting linguistic and stylistic elements of the story, the study explores Nabokov’s peculiar way of writing as he presents the theme of immigration, which is reflective of today’s political, social and cultural context, as the story unfurls. Keywords: Nabokov, discourse, style Introduction Nabokov’s way of writing has been great attraction for readers who like to be confused and also surprised with the sudden but fine ending of the story while enjoying the flow of words in unusual combinations. Although he has been widely acclaimed for his novels, especially Lolita, he dedicated some of his early time on writing short stories. Fifty-two of his stories were published in four English collections during his lifetime. While Nabokov had a sketch of a final collection that he described as “the bottom of the barrel” (Nabokov, 1995), he did not live long enough to realize that project. His son and wife took a role in reproducing collections of his stories by regrouping the previous stories, altering their order and adding new ones that had not been previously published. The book, The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov, was published by Vintage Books in 1995. The aim of this article is to explore Nabokov’s style in the first story of the collection, The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov, entitled The Wood-Sprite. Having read all the stories in the collection, the researcher has focused on The Wood-Sprite since the connection between the text and the reader implicitly touches on today’s political and social conjunction: immigration forced by war, and the researcher lives in the immediate context where the brutal realities of forced immigration, dislocation of people due to the war can be witnessed directly through observation and media narratives of immigrants, and their stories. In addition to its relevant theme, the conspicuous stylistic features of the Nabokov’s story are the principal focus of the present paper. The main aim of the paper is to go beyond the traditional domain of sentences to explore the literary structure of the text as a whole (Fowler, 1989). 1 19th International Stylistics Symposium November 28-29, 2019 Isparta/TURKEY Editor: Dr. Mehmet Galip ZORBA ISBN: 978-605-84052-7-1 Nabokov’s style is considered an important quality of his presence in the realm of fiction. Nabokov’s creation of story spins around two focal distinctions: the personal and impersonal uses of language, and the relationship between the narrator (himself) and reader as a composition element of the story (Olson, 1983). He also juxtaposes the real and abstract establishing a duality between world and otherworld (Rudolf, 2013, p. 13). His personal and impersonal uses of language reflect a combination of short and long sentences, where each is distinguished by the adjective modifying the noun in an unusual way. Nabokov also makes use of emotive verbs while describing the immediate contexts such as nature and the character’s state of mind. Additionally, adjective phrases and the impersonal use of verbs are generally evocative and make reader feel the text through sounds, colors and feelings by making use of various sensory receptions. His use of the first-person narrator cultivates a persona for the reader where the reader displaces herself/himself with Nabokov. The characters he creates and the first-person narrator (we as readers) are in good company throughout the story. Nabokov’s first-person narrator and reader are all melded as one unique entity. This unity manifests itself in his style of writing where the reader can feel the material world, grounded by the senses, and glimpse another metaphysical world through fanciful characters.
