- Description
- This paper argues that in Diepe grond a linguistic analysis of the text can illustrate how specific gendered relations operating within the text are supported by the linguistic fibre of the text. In Diepe grond a tension exists between the magical creative ability and vitality of language and the restrictive traditional parameters of language which are difficult to transgress without crossing certain traditional boundaries. It is argued that by violating certain stereotypical linguistic boundaries (e.g. syntactic structures, linguistic taboos, discourse strategies), barriers operating within the society (which is mirrored in the text) are dismantled.
