Deviation
 Dialect
• A dialect is a form of a language spoken by a group of people.
• Some examples of dialect groups:
Southern English, northern English, standard English, and
Appalachian English.
 Dialect
• Dialects are attached to particular regions.
• Writers have to be aware that it’s very easy to offend someone
through the use of a dialect in a specific piece.

 Dialectical Deviation
Dialectical deviation is the usage of socially or regionally defined
dialects in literary works. Since normally the author is expected to
write in the generally accepted and understood dialect known as
'Standard English' , thus any divergence from this dialect is seen as
a deviation.
 Dialectical Deviation
It can deviate in two domains:
• The usage of any regional dialect, i.e. the dialect spoken in
various regions, or some of a world variety of English, such as
Scottish English or American English.
• The usage of a dialect connected with a social-class, such as
the black dialect.
 Dialectical Deviation
Dialectical deviation can involve any linguistic level, i.e. phonetic
(dialects with accent), lexical (variation of words with same
meaning), morphological and grammatical (usage of deviant
grammatical rules or syntax).

Historical Period
Why The Poet Use
Historical
Deviation?
 Historical Deviation
• It is related to the use of old words that are not
used in present day life/very old fashioned and
outdated.
• The use of linguistic heritage, including dead
languages such as Latin and Greek and
archaism ‘the survival of the language of the
past into the language of present’
 Historical Deviation
In this kind of deviation, archaism is a figure of
speech in which a writer’s choice of word or
phrase is purposefully old fashioned. They do so
in order to enhance the aesthetical value of
Poem.
e.g. Rose thou art sick
 Historical Deviation
Whether it’s a word, sentence, style of diction or
syntax, these examples all sound out of date.
This literary technique is quite easy to recognize,
especially if the readers familiar with the time
period in which the writer was working on a
particular piece.
 The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.

Example “I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere

ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a
wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by, and that has
made all the difference.”
 For Whom the Bell Tolls by Earnest Hemingway

“… ‘I besmirch the milk of thy duty’ then turning

Example to the woman, ‘where the un-nameable is this
vileness that I am to guard?’”
“… ‘then go and befoul thyself’, Pilar said to him
without heat.”
 For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway

“And do you like me too? Do I please thee? I will

Example look better later.”

“thou art very beautiful now.”

“nay,” she said. “but stroke thy hand across my

head.”
 A Dance With Dragons by George R.R. Martin

“I heard a Lannister always pays his debts.”

Example “Oh, every penny… but never a groat more.
You’ll get the meal you bargained for, but it wont
be sauced with gratitude, and in the end it will not
nourish you.”
 Winner of the Best Original Song at the 2015
Oscars, “Glory” uses archaic language in order to
stir up feelings of awe and wonder for Martin
Luther King Jr. and his powerful life and vision.

Example The dialogue on Pride and Prejudice movie.

“by and by I may observe” means “in the end, I

think”
“I daresay” means “it is possible that”
“I hope to afford you more clarity” means “I hope
to clarify what this means for you”
