Outline Biography
I am an Assistant Professor of English Language & Linguistics at the University of Sulaimani since 2001. She gained her PhD from the University of Huddersfield, United Kingdom in 2016. She obtained a BA degree in English Language in 1997 and an MA in English Language & Linguistics in 2001 at the University of Sallahaddin, Erbil, Iraq.
In my PhD research, I expand the stylistic notion of ''mind style'' by building an inclusive and comprehensive model called An Eclectic Model of Mind Style (EMMS) for investigating fictional characters' minds in the stylistic analysis of prose fiction. I focus mainly on the lexical and grammatical categories, pragmatic, as well as discoursal features of the two autistic characters' minds in two English novels. My constructed EMMS model is beneficial to be applied universally to other non-typical mind styles in other literary or non-literary texts since it is a standard model and detail that can be applied to any fictional character or non-fictional individuals having certain impairments due to its basis in stylistic and pragmatic theories. Its three main categories, namely ideational, interactional, and textual styles, act as clearly defined boundaries, assisting in identifying various stylistic markers that point to the characters’ mind styles.
