| Abstract | ||
| In all discourses, people are not talking to themselves but rather interacting with others. This is referred to as dialogic, which is the essence of pragmatics in narratology. Making someone understand what you are communicating is the concern of pragmatics, as it deals with language in context by specifying the motivation of discourse at a given moment. These must involve some linguistic and pragmatic activities to help the hearer/reader comprehend the meaning of the narratives represented in "languages" and direct authorial discourse organized in the form of a conglomeration of heterogeneous linguistic and stylistic forms in a real sense of style. Trying to elicit these features from this communication whether being written or oral is the essence of this research. This study draws upon a set of foundational concepts in the thought of Mikhail Bakhtin (1981) which will be systematically employed to explicate the theoretical and applied dimension of the subject under investigation as dialogism, polyphony, heteroglossia, and chronotope and their relatedness with areas of pragmatics. The analysis utilizes 35 corpuses of online data gathered from various debates at the UN Security Council Meeting and other sources, such as online media outlets reporting on world reactions to the Syrian regime change. The results explore how narrative techniques shape meaning, speaker intent and listener interpretation within a specific context and dealing with the Bakhtin’s oeuvre is not only an illustration of what a dialogic world looks like with its strong philosophical keystones, but also providing us with sharp analytical tools to detect and create dialogical texts. | ||
