Stylistic Features in the Diary of Dang Thuy Tram

Abstract

The diary as a literary form has undergone a complex process, originating as a supplementary source for writing memoirs and gradually evolving into an independent literary genre. As a type of autobiographical prose, diaries aim to express the author's personality and inner world. This genre represents a form of discourse realization that encompasses the recording and description of events as well as self-reflection. It is diverse not only in literary terms but also in linguistic perspectives. This paper examines several linguo-stylisitc aspects of the diary genre through an analyis of The Diary of Đặng Thuỳ Trâm.
