“A CLOCKWORK ORANGE” AND ANALYSIS OF NADSAT VOCABULARY

Abstract

“A Clockwork Orange “ by Anthony Burgess, a famous English novelist, critic, and man of letters whose fictional explorations of modern dilemmas combine wit, moral earnestness, and a note of the bizarre. “A Clockwork Orange” is considered  the most outstanding novel where the author uses special colloquial words, mainly: dialects, slangs and vulgars in order to depict authenticity  to the main character of the novel. Moreover, Anthony Burgess successfully created new vocabulary called as a “Nadsat  vocabulary”, where he uses specially constructed words combining Russian and English.
