Abstract:
This paper tends to make a study on the narrative technique which is an indivisible part of the novel which has been employed by Roald Dahl in his children’s novel. As the value of narrative technique lies in its appropriate usage as per the need, Dahl employed the right technique at the right place which conveyed his wonderful ideas to the readers and make them feel magical. Though there are various narrative devices applied by the novelists to explain, explore and objectify their themes or ideology. Dahl perfectly familiar with these narrative devices is essential for the creation, imagination as well as better understanding of fiction. Roald Dahl, being the world’s number one story teller of 20thcentury children’s literature used the techniques which pulls the reader attention into his novels.

Abstract:
Concerning the study of children’s literature, contemporary ecocritical research proposes to analyze how ecological narratives diverge from the logic of alienation, hierarchy and domination and move towards inspiring community and interdependence. Roald Dahl’s (1916-1990) respect and deep knowledge of nature and animals are rendered in most of his children’s novels, depicting underdogs working together to defeat oppression and abuse of power. Given that these stories have long been part of popular culture, as well as the school curricula, this paper studies them from an ecological perspective arguing that, through similar re-readings, these narratives could inspire environmental consciousness and agency in young readers.

Abstract:
There have been several significant changes in children’s literature in the past few decades; one of them is the change in the narative style. Roald Dahl is one of the most prominent authors of children’s literature that displays this particular change in his works. Dahl is known to utilize a creative narrative style in his works, and this is also seen in one of his children’s novels discussed in this research: The BFG (1982). This research thus aims at analysing one part of the narrative structure called external evaluation which shows the function of narrator in the story as well as the effects of the use of such narrative style on children as the target readers. Using Labov’s theory of narative structure and Genette’s theory of narratology, the results of the analysis shows that Dahl utilizes the function of narrator in the external evaluations to help children as his target readers to get a better understanding of the story as well as to build a close connection with them, resulting in the more enjoyable reading experience for the children.

Abstract:
It is widely recognised that successful reading involves the interaction of a number of different cognitive skills and strategies in order to achieve compre-hension of the text (Baker, 2002). These skills and strategies are generally considered to be controlled by a global process called ‘metacognition’ (Kuhn & Dean, 2004). In this paper, I suggest that a large part of metacognition when reading has a (meta)linguistic component and hence time should be devoted to raising (meta)linguistic awareness when teaching and honing reading skills and strategies. Tasks based around a short extract from Roald Dahl’s (1982[2013]) novel The BFG are presented and discussed in order to illustrate how metalinguistic awareness might be raised in a classroom. Such tasks not only help to improve reading comprehension but have a number of additional benefits: they enhance and support the metacognitive toolkit, improve vocabulary acquisition and growth, and can bring a love of language and the fun of language play into the classroom.Keywords: metalinguistic awareness, reading comprehension, vocabulary, classroom activities, Roald DahlÅ fremme metalingvistisk bevissthet i et klasserom for å forbedre leseforståelse: eksempler fra Roald Dahls roman The BFGSammendragDet er bred enighet om at vellykket lesing trekker veksler på flere forskjellige kognitive ferdigheter og strategier tilknyttet tekstforståelse (Baker, 2002). Disse ferdighetene og strategiene hører inn under den globale prosessen ‘metakog-nisjon’ (Kuhn & Dean, 2004). I denne artikkelen argumenterer jeg for at en stor del av metakognisjonen i lesing har en (meta)lingvistisk komponent, og følgelig at tid bør vies til å utvikle (meta)lingvistisk bevissthet i undervisningen av leseferdigheter og strategier. Arbeidsoppaver basert på et kort utdrag fra Roald Dahls (1982[2013]) The BFG (The Big Friendly Giant / SVK – Store Vennlige Kjempe) presenteres og diskuteres for å illustrere hvordan metalingvistisk bevissthet kan utvikles i klasserommet. Slike arbeidsoppgaver hjelper ikke bare med å forbedre leseforståelsen, men har også flere andre fordeler: de forsterker og støtter den metakognitive verktøykassen, forbedrer både innlæring og utvidelse av ordforrådet, kan øke språkgleden og oppmuntre til lek med språk i klasserommet.Nøkkelord: metalingvistisk bevissthet, leseforståelse, vokabular, klasseroms-aktiviteter, Roald Dahl

Este trabajo tiene dos objetivos: por un lado, evidenciar las características posmodernas de la obra y de qué manera estas contribuyen a lograr su propósito comunicativo; y, por el otro, analizar si dos de los elementos posmodernos más importantes del texto, la actualización de los aspectos culturales y la variedad de registros lingüísticos, están igualmente presentes en las versiones traducidas al francés y al castellano. Para ello, se han realizado dos estudios traductológicos contrastivos de tipo descriptivo con el fin de analizar la traducción de dichos elementos posmodernos en los textos meta en francés y castellano, aplicando la taxonomía de técnicas de traducción propuesta por Molina y Hurtado (2002).

Abstract:
The purpose of the research is to find out how R. Dahl uses traditional European fairy tales in his stories. The authors analyze some children’s tales by the British writer R. Dahl, comparing them with traditional folklore European fairy tales, which enables the authors to estimate the amount of folklore fairy tales’ influence on R. Dahl’s tales for children. The scientific novelty of the research consists in establishing the types of intertextual connection between R. Dahl’s stories for children and traditional folklore fairy tales. As a result, it was discovered that traditional European fairy tales are reflected in R. Dahl’s children’s stories due to applying the following techniques: a) using elements of intertextuality in plot construction and image creation, which manifests itself in processing of plots, direct and indirect allusions, parody; b) using the same thematic basis, including the following moralistic themes: confrontation between good and evil; main character’s liberation; paradoxical retribution and triumph of justice.

The structure and figurative languages in the poem creates the tone that can raise people awareness of the bad impact of television for children growth and on the other hand gently reminds today’s parents about the goodness of reading books. This study gives empirical evidences of such impression by showing the poetic devices and the language features applied by the poet.

Abstract:
This article looks from a Foucauldian perspective at the exercise of power in children's fiction. Roald Dahl's novels are examined as the paradigmatic product of social discourses; and power operates through their circulation. It is argued that Dahl's narratives reflect the author's personal struggle against discourses, which construct both the author himself and his readers as subjects. The article then turns to some critical responses to the novels. It suggests that the author and critics further reprise the roles of fictional child and adult characters, in a constantly shifting dynamic of power relations.

Abstract:
Roald Dahl is widely known for being one of the most creative writers, both in the ideas of the stories and the language use. His use of language is exceptional and tends to show some playfulness which makes the writing even more attractive. This play on language is in fact considered his writing style. What is worth noticing further is that playfulness can also be seen in the use of figurative language. This paper specifically focuses on the figurative language such as similes, metaphors, and personification in Dahls novels for children: The BFG, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, and The Witches. Since this paper reveals Dahls use of language play as his writing style, it belongs to Stylistics, the study of style. The paper uses a descriptive qualitative method. The data of similes and personification are collected and then analysed in terms of how they show the ingenious side of the writer in using language. The findings show that the figurative language used in the novels indeed makes optimal use of sound play and wordplay. Besides, the figurative language is also closely associated with the fact that the novels are intended for children.

This is a qualitative study which focuses on literary analysis. The data was collected from those two books. Evidently this study will bring benefit to English majors to gain insights on how to establish effective writing style. The findings of this study show that Dahl has four outstanding elements for writing style: Lead Sentences, Rhyme-schemed poem, Peculiar Chosen Words, and Concept of Personification. Although Dahl’s books have great insight on establishing one’s writing style, there are some positive and negative influence that should be considered in reading Dahl’s masterpieces.

Abstract:
On December 5, 1960, 4-month-old Theo Dahl, the only son of best-selling author Roald Dahl (1916–1990), had his skull shattered in a horrific traffic accident. What began as a personal tragedy for the Dahl family would soon evolve into a dogged crusade by Dahl to expand upon preexisting valve technology with the goal of developing a shunt that would not become obstructed. Based upon exclusive access to private archives of the Dahl estate, as well as interviews with those involved, this article tells the intricate tale of one famous father's drive to significantly alter the natural history of pediatric hydrocephalus. Dahl's collaboration with British toymaker Stanley Wade and pioneering pediatric neurosurgeons Joseph Ransohoff, Kenneth Shulman, and Kenneth Till to create the Wade-Dahl-Till (WDT) valve is examined in detail. The ensuing rift between the American and British contingents, the valve's multiple design revisions, and the goal of creating an affordable shunt for children in developing countries are among the issues addressed. The development of the WDT valve marked a significant turning point in the surgical management of pediatric hydrocephalus in general and in shunt valve technology in particular.

The aim of this research was to find out the types of word formation in the names of the giants; the fictional characters in children's book entitled The BFG written by Roald Dahl. This research was designed as descriptive qualitative research.To investigate the language phenomenon, the writer employed Yule's theoretical framework regarding the word-formation process. There are 10 types of word-formation processes proposed by Yule (2010), such as coinage, borrowing, compounding, blending, conversion, acronym, derivation, back-formation, clipping, and multiple processes. But apparently, in creating names for the giants characters in the story, Dahl only used 3 types of word formation, they are an acronym, compounding, and multiple processes.

Abstract:
In the paper the definition of the fairy-tale is given and the features of the English fairy-tale are discussed. Being a game in the first place nonsense is considered to be the hallmark of the English fairy-tale. Nonsense may be considered both as a genre and as a literary device. The study is based on “The BFG”, an example of the English fairy-tale, written by the famous English writer Roald Dahl, who is known for using nonsense a lot in his works. The results of the literary and linguistic (on phonological, morphological, lexical, syntactic, semantic and graphic levels) analysis of “The BFG” are presented in the article. The authors come to the conclusion that the fairy-tale by Roald Dahl cannot be considered an example of “pure nonsense” despite some features of the genre. It is found out that nonsense as a literary device in the fairy-tale is based on the principles of the language game on all language levels. The fact that the book is written for children is reflected in the language of “The BFG”. The main character’s speech reminds of children’s speech which is characterised by the language game.

Abstract:
Semantics is the study of meaning in language. One of the linguistic features that can be considered in semantics is figurative language. Short stories are oases of figurative language and literary devices that are used in such a way that they portray a far deeper meaning then the words themselves do. Because the story uses figurative language, readers occasionally have trouble understanding its significance and message. In this study, the researchers examine Roald Dahl's short tale "Lamb to the Slaughter" for the use of figurative language in order to utilize semantic analysis to determine the messages conveyed by the author. This study aims to discover the types and the meaning of the figurative language in the short story “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl by identifying the literal and non literal meaning and then finds the shared semantic features, the message of the story can be revealed. To support the analysis process, the researchers used the theory of semantic to discover the meaning of the figurative language in the story. The theory of figurative language is used to identify the types of figurative language in the story. The researchers applied the theory of message to reveal the true meaning or the message of the story.

Abstract:
Children stories can be a powerful tool for a writer to present their views of the world around them, both positive or negative ones. This article attempts to examine the message beneath a children novel, The BFG by Roald Dahl by employing Barthes’ five systems of codes. Focusing on the writerly codes, this descriptive qualitative research emphasizes on analyzing the smallest units of the stories, or the lexias. Each lexia is categorized into the three writerly codes to reveal the underlying message in the story. The findings show that despite The BFG being a children book, it consists of some serious social issues like racism. Another thing found in the research is that the issue can lead to a double meaning—whether Dahl intends to raise social awareness or that he wants to subtly say that he himself thinks of other races as inferior.

Abstract:
El escritor en lengua inglesa Roald Dahl (1916-1990) es un referente ineludible de la literatura infantil de mediados del siglo XX. En sus novelas Charlie y la fábrica de Chocolate (1964) y Matilda (1988), el simbolismo culinario se configura alrededor de tres estrategias narrativas fundamentales para su poética: representar las relaciones de poder, subvertir la tradición de la literatura infantil en tanto género “didáctico” o aleccionador y funcionar como un elemento de transformación al interior de las tramas. Partiendo del cuento de hadas tradicional, Dahl reinventó la tradición literaria para niños y configuró un universo metafórico donde las relaciones de poder entre niño y adulto se ven trastocadas. Al utilizar la comida como signo polisémico para retratar y resignificar las relaciones de poder entre niños y adultos, Dahl subvierte y rinde homenaje a la literatura infantil clásica y a los cuentos de hadas tradicionales.

Penelope Bagieu adapted the children's novel The Witches by Roald Dahl into a graphic novel. This novel tells of the struggle of a little boy who has been transformed into a mouse with his grandmother against a group of evil witches. Adapting a literary work into a literary work is a creative process consisting of adding, subtracting, removing, and developing so that it becomes a new work. This study aims to reveal the similarities and differences and the changes that occur. The method used is to analyze the storytelling elements between the two works by comparing the two.
