Abstract

This article aims to discuss the role of discourse analysis in literary analysis. For this aim, the writers apply Sperber and Wilson’s theory of relevance. This theory says that the meaning of utterance might be analyzed in terms of explicature, higher-level explicature, and implicature. The drama analyzed is Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. The writers suggest that discourse analysis can function to analyze the language used in the context of drama and that this analysis should be applied in studying literary works.
