Abstract

Vocabulary and style are part of the mechanisms that writers adopt to embody their ideas and leave an impact on the reader. Vocabularies have a distinctive expressive property that allows the writer to depict reality and make the reader see what one can imagine of the world. In each tale, we see the author excel in the area he deals with, such as colloquial, warlike or religious vocabularies, and even the spelling of certain words is very similar to the way these words are pronounced by the characters. Themselves. This study attempts to research the impact of the relationship between style and vocabularies in certain tales of Guy de Maupassant, as well as the spelling of vocabularies in the tales.
