Abstract
Introduction
This article examines and analyzes two novels, "The Baghdad Clock" by Shahad Al Rawi and "Two Landscapes" by Ghazaleh Alizadeh, based on the Sociology of Language. The sociology of language is a branch of linguistics that studies the relationship between language and society. This field analyzes how language interacts with social structures and culture, as well as the impact of society on language. In the sociology of language, factors such as gender, social class, education, age, ethnicity, etc., play a fundamental role in creating linguistic diversity.
In the present study, the authors seek to answer these questions: What are the sociological components of language in the novels "The Baghdad Clock" and "Two landscapes"? How are these components manifested in the novels "The Baghdad Clock" and "Two landscapes"?
Methodology
In this study, using a descriptive-analytical method, it is shown how these two novels reflect dominant and marginal discourses in the social contexts of Iraq and Iran through linguistic elements. The novel "The Baghdad Clock" by Shahad Al-Rawi narrates the social and political situation of war-torn and embargoed Iraq. This work seeks to discover individual and collective identity amidst social turmoil and identity crises. On the other hand, the novel "Two Landscapes" by Ghazaleh Alizadeh examines different aspects of Iranian life and identity and depicts the challenges existing in society.
Discussion
Throughout history, literature has been a reflection of the surrounding society and has been used as a window for the presentation and analysis of social realities. Through it, a deeper understanding of culture, identity, practices, and social challenges has been achieved. Literature directly and sometimes indirectly, and in social contexts, depicts economic, political, and cultural issues. Using characters, stories, and environments, writers present the real experiences of individuals and provide an analysis of the state of society. It is also able to depict social conflicts and tensions. In other words, literature is a mirror of social changes that constantly adapts to these changes.
In the present study, Shahad Al-Rawi, the author of the novel "The Baghdad Clock", and GhazalehAlizadeh, the author of the novel "Two Landscapes", are women who pay special attention to the society around them, and the issues surrounding them are a reflection of their works. By studying and examining the novels of these authors, especially the language of the characters in the novels, one can depict the society, status, and behavior. of individuals.
Conclusion
The results of the research show that both novels, relying on narrative and linguistic techniques, recreate social developments and discursive tensions in their society. Shahad Al-Rawi uses multilayered and symbolic language to depict identity crises in post-Saddam Iraq, while Ghazaleh Alizadeh uses critical prose to employ feminine language as a tool to confront traditional structures and challenges in society. This research aims to analyze these two works and examine the role of language in reflecting social issues and discourses of power in contemporary Middle Eastern fiction. The sociological components of language in the aforementioned novels include education, gender, occupation, religion, beliefs, and ideologies.
