Abstract
This study is conducted to explore Hemingway’s famous short story sequence, “Big Two-Hearted River” on the basis of stylistic approach. The writer is a controversial figure, well-known for his understated prose style which he named the iceberg technique, or the technique of omission. Hemingway deviates from certain norms of language and therefore establishes his own norms to enhance the reader’s reading experience. The study aims to explain how the grammatical deviation Hemingway employs in his short stories enhances the aesthetic values of his work and how grammatical deviation characteristics found in his short stories are related to his iceberg technique. The theoretical framework used in this study is adapted from Short’s linguistic deviation (1996) with the sole focus on grammatical deviation.
