Abstract
The purpose of this research is a linguistic study. It investigates Agatha christie’s novel Three Act Tragedy (1934) style of writing. It draws an attention to the writer’s unique linguistic peculiarities of her writing style within the selected novel. The study employs the procedures of Mick Short & Geoffrey Leech’s Style in Fiction (2007), as well as Michael Halliday and Ruqaiya Hassan’s Cohesion in English book (1976). Therefore, christie’s novel chosen texts are examined in terms of four dimensions: lexical categories, cohesion, grammatical categories, and figures of speech. Furthermore, the impacts of the writer’s word choice on the readers are accurately interpreted based on examinations of her writing techniques. The results of this study assert that the writer’s tactics help increase the degree of engagement between writer and reader. This allows readers to choose various desired interpretations of the narrative and to think deeply to figure out who the murderer among the suspects is depending on analyzing the conversations of the characters and what they reveal, which in turn broaden the readers’ minds, and eventually, enhance an evaluation for christie’s works.
