| Abstract | ||
| Science fiction is a literary genre that aims at building humane and progressive societies. The writers of this genre, concentrate on man as energy and will. Unfortunately, progress in science does not necessarily lead societies to the Utopia man hopes to achieve. On the contrary, progress in industry may result in horror and destruction Science fiction writers depict in their novels worlds of the remote future with whatever difference it manifests from our own time. They base the events of their stories on facts, and on mere imagination. In accordance with the significance of science fiction as a literary genre, the present study aims at analyzing the language of this genre through two selected novels. For this purpose, the present analysis will be concerned with the frequency of each of the three syntactic and semantic categories mentioned above, and then, the predominant ones will be analyzed. The present study falls into five sections. Section One is the Introduction which specifies the nature of the problem, and deals with the hypotheses, limits of the study and its procedure. Section Two deals with Tense, Aspect and Modality theoretically and practically through a detailed survey. Section Three shows the way of sampling the data taken from two novels of science fiction, viz. The Time Machine and Brave New World. The criteria of choosing the texts as well as those of Forms are explained. The levels of analysis are also shown. Section Four presents the analysis of the data through tables and statistics, and it ends with a detailed discussion of the results. Section Five gives the conclusions. | ||
