Psycholinguistic Analysis of Coleridge�s – Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Dr. S. Radhika

Abstract :

Man is bestowed with the highest gift of reasoning and language is the crowning glory of human race, because it is the expression of the enigma of man’s being and his relation to the Universe. Language is the important tool of communication to express one’s own ideas, views and feelings. Language is used not only as the vehicle of communication, but also as the vehicle to understand the mood/mindset of the people. For example, people in love uses poetic language; people in angry mood uses short sentences. The encoding and decoding of messages are the outcome of the functions of the ain at the neurobiological level and the functions of mind at the psychological level.  The aim of the study, here, is to analyze the psychological conditions/mindset/mood of the characters through the language used by them.
