This dissertation has studied the language features of The Waves.That inclues:The useage of "â… ";Color words and expressions of "wonderful"and "colorful";The complex and simple sentence pattern; The rhetoric.In Woofs world there are two kinds of "Myself";One is the real myself,and the other is complexed with human feeling.When we speak out "â… ",it means a Contradictory entity.The real "I" shows by sense of touch,smell,vision and activity.The feeling "â… " devote myself to the real world.The life itself and the nature combines one world.In brief,Woof through six roles,shows the idea"You have me,I have you" She thinks the personal character and the natural general character just likes the person's general character,naturally manifests person's general character exterior angle of view.Woofs color words and expressions are excellent,she is good at portraying the instantaneous nature,and is a color-sensitive writer.Luo Da feels inferior,filled with pessimistic mood to the life,most color word for her are dark.But on the contradictory,she feels inferior at the same time longing for honored,therefore the white words displays her noblly. Jennie,is a girl who is overflowing with enthusiasm,the color words and expressions are sharp and bright for her.Woofs color words and expressions are describe the character innermost feelings world,the nonchalant color words and expressions in fact cause the character to dye have the impressionism color.Each kind of color and the character disposition are echo,reflecting their consciousness and life.The waves does not like a normal novel includes a stow and typical characters,its narration is with six character's internal monologues and one has not entered the stage,but looks like the shadow to exist equally throughout in each person realizes "Parsee Var".They shows their corresponding life stage from childhood,school times,the youth time,the middle-aged time until the old aged time.The author when indicates the character each growth time,echoes with character's language feature.When six characters are in their children time,the life they tell are clearly.But along with their age's growth,from the youth to the middle age even to the old age,the describtions are complicated.Their langauage style becomes to be long-pattern,but every role's come to be more clearly.Woof uses many kinds of rhetoric ways to serve for its subject.The personification responds the nature and humanity's relations;Symbolic rhetoric unfolds the life subject;Repeatedly rhetoric traces the life triviaWoof always places the character in the nature.The persons and their life under natural background has the bidirectional function,reflects the uniformity of the human and the natural general character and also set off character's individuality.The description nature provids us to observe the character disposition by the exterior angle of view.Because the character related oneself with the plant together,plant's habitual characteristic is also character's performance at heart.At the same time,Wolfe also uses the nature and person's difference reflects character's different disposition. By the stable angle of view naturally,he forms the contrast with character's tendency,specially in the nature biology is such calm, self-confident,integrates the nature and the character is on nettles,the contradiction,the suspicion to form the striking contrast. One subjects of The waves demonstrats the life course.Woof uses the symbolic rhetoric help to complete this subject.Woof selects many kinds of marks to participate in the significance symbol.The sun,the sea, the flowers and plants,the trees,the bird and so on manifest the whole symbolic significance.Symbolizes person's birth,the growth,maturely, senile,the death.With this a series of whole symbol relative is the microscopic symbol.One example is carnation's symbolic implication.At two meetings,"the carnation" turns six flower petals by seven flower petals,is precisely the life implication which Woof wants to expound.That is "You have me,I have you".Woof uses relapse rhetoric way to strengthen the innermost feelings,transforming the internal monologue as the life trivia,caused the novel simple narration becomes the vivid image.Simultaneously regarding the reader is also one kind of strengthening repeatedly,causes the reader's sympathetic chord function stronger.Susan relapse chants "rest,humph,rest" the lullaby,is athe mother benevolence psychology indication.It looks like the melody in cycles to build the esthetic sense,warm,gentle,affectionate and happy.Bernard looks like a freight car sound.The"collision" and "must" be redundant three times,emphasizing life monotonous and the triviality. Simultaneously has also displayed Bernard's life change.In brief:by the linguistics angle,studying literature has opened a new view for the literature research.
