A comparative study of the style of "Blue Sky of Dez" and "The Little Native Boy" based on experimental metafunctions with a glance on Local elements
"Ahmad Mahmoud"a social realist narrator of the Southern region confronts the audience with real life and avoids giving a distorted version. He blames the root of all disorganization poverty and ignorance of the lower class on the phenomenon of colonialism and government, in"The Blue Sky of Dez" and "The Little Native Boy". He uses the referential function of language to approach everyday life. Michael Halliday's introduction to functional grammar also examines language with reference to its role in social interactions. According to Halliday the study of grammar should be done quantitatively and he believes language is a social phenomenon, It can be analyzed in empirical data, communicative actions, and language metafuncion related to style. In Mahmoud's works the represention of colonialism in the situational "context" of those stories can be compared to six paradigms of Halliday's grammar.The purpose of this study is to determin if following this particular school has led to equal use of grammatical metafuntions according to the general application of realism to his literary school? Has he represented the southern climate and its natives’ attitudes with the few foreigners representing the upper class equally? The research data shows in these stories, material, relational and verbal processes havebeen used more than all other processes, respectively. His tendency to express the events of the outside world causes the material process to be more than other processes. The frequency of physical acts by inanimate objects is higher in the "Blue Sky of Dez", than in the "The Little Native Boy".
