NIGHT AND NUANCE: A STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF EMMANUEL TORRES' 'WALKING HOME'
Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive stylistic analysis of Emmanuel Torres' poem "Walking Home." Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study examines the poem across four linguistic levels: phonological, graphological, morphological, and lexico-syntactic. Phonological analysis reveals how sound patterns such as alliteration and assonance contribute to the poem's musicality and emotional impact. Graphological examination explores visual elements like lineation and punctuation, showing their influence on reader interpretation. Morphological analysis delves into word choices and their effects on imagery and thematic development. Lexico-syntactic analysis scrutinizes sentence structures and vocabulary to uncover deeper existential themes. This study underscores the significance of stylistic analysis in appreciating Torres' craftsmanship and the poem's thematic depth.
