“…Alternatively, certain approaches center on readers' involvement in constructing meaning during text analysis, acknowledging the role of readers. Watts (1981) emphasized that in stylistic analysis, the stylistician's task is not to interpret the text but to identify linguistic structures, particularly in literary texts. Some stylistic analysis also aims to validate the methods and principles of the model, not merely interpreting the text.…”

“…Literary scholars have integrated aspects of speech act theory into narratology, and a number of them, such as Mary Louise Pratt (1977), Michael Kearns (1999) and Lars Bernaert (2010), have granted it a prominent and permanent position in their narratological models: compare the more linguistic perspectives of Watts (1981) and Toolan (1998). All these sources basically argue from the inside out that what authors, narrators and characters do with words---i.e., the illocutionary force or point of the represented utterances---is a distinguishable and intrinsic part of the meaning of a text.…”

Scientific discourse is characterized by the prevalence of assertive linguistic acts denoting facts devoid of fiction. It is mainly used in scholarly writings to serve scientific, technical or didactic objectives. Nevertheless, it may be found in literary works in their distinct genres including scientific and non-scientific fiction. Consequently, the present article aims at depicting the role and implication of the language of science in literature. It attempts to reveal the authors' manipulation of scientific discourse to denote a sort of linguistic variation within their writings. Various examples were extracted from literary works to illustrate the functional and stylistic variation crafted through the use of the language of science. Discourse analysis was applied to study the functions of scientific language in literary texts. The scrutiny of the mined examples has unveiled that the insertion of scientific discourse in literary prose helps to divulge the characters' register and the writers' stylistic craft.
