| Abstract | ||
| The current research endeavors to study the stylistic conduct of compound adjectives in Shakespeare's Macbeth on the two levels: grammar and lexis. It attempts to recognize adjective as a literary term mutually with determining its form and function. Having got an idea about its form and function in syntax, the compound adjective is highlighted in this study according to its form, frequency and meaning in the play. All compound adjectives have been calculated in the play in terms of their existence in the five acts. Consequently, the statistical analysis shows that they are diverse in their form and frequency in the entire play. The study indicates that there is a profound relationship between compound adjectives and the thematic structure of the play. The utilization of compound adjectives intensifies Shakespeare's immense skill to manipulate them in a way that matches the different situations and characters of the play. In addition, they are used neatly and intricately to convey several images such as: t i m e, sickness, death, evil, blood and nature. | ||
