What is needed, as Fowler EI al. occasionally insist, is a method for the critical iriterprrtariori of linguistic expressions; but if the authors rightly recognize this need, their preoccupation with problems of syntax seriously limits their ability to fulfil it. (Thompson 1984: 125) Weber tries to solve this problem by concentrating on intermediate layers of language organisation, and thus inevitably runs into pragmatics. In Chapter 3 he proposes his theoretical framework: ideologies may come to light when unrealised meanings can be identified. This smacks of deconstruction and its so-called metaphysics of absence, but although Weber does flirt with deconstruction (especially towards the end of his book, for instance on pp. 11 1, 138, 144, 152). he generally avoids the epistemological quagmire of an irifriife absence. Weber concentrates his attention on four categories of unrealised elements: negation, modality, presupposition and inference. The former two deny (part 00 an unrealised assumption, the latter two relate to unvoiced expectations (for instance on the part of the reader). After a short theoretical introduction these categories are employed in an analysis of James Joyce's Ewlirie, describing the ideological 'schema' in which the protagonist is caught However, this schema conflicts with the schemata most readers will bring to the story:

We all drink water on a daily basis unconsciously. If someone asks us what water is, we cannot often give an accurate answer. Likewise, we read literature on a daily basis and numerous universities offer literature courses to students. In addition, these universities require students to do thesis on literary works but what is the identity of literature? What is the best or genuine literary work? There are burning questions to ask with respect to literature? The answers to some of questions are indefinite and infinite. The present study is a reflection on the identity of the Literature, the main purpose of which to shed light on four questions: 1) Can literature be defined? 2) What is literary value? 3) What is the canon? 4) How does the canon affect us, as readers?

In this respect, my argument will thus consider the general theoretical level of analysis (a matter of literary theory) based on the structuralist narrato logical evaluation of fiction, as well as the practical applicability of the general principles o f approach (a matter of literary criticism) regarding, in particular, the Victorian novels . 1.1 The Theoretical Background The interest in the approach to novel and other typ es of the fictional ...
