  • Modal structure in Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-five
    Kavalir, Monika
    The article analyses modal structure (tense, polarity) in Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse-five within the framework of systemic-functional grammar. The analysis of the mood element shows the ... prevailing pattern to be past positive; the use of present tenses embodies Vonnegut's specific non-linear concept of time. Similarly, the absence of negative polarity builds the deterministic belief that pervades the novel.
