Abstract

The paper deals with the study of repeated words and structures in the monologue of one of the characters of William Faulkner’s “The Sound and the Fury”. A range of functions of repetitions are highlighted (from the repetition of single lexical units to the repetition of whole syntactical structures), each of them being referred to as a specific technique for verbalizing the characteristics of stream of consciousness.
