USE OF LANGUAGE BY EUGENE IONESCO IN HIS WORKS: THE CHAIRS AND THE BALD SOPRANO

ABSTRACT
This paper deals with the language used by one of the most famous modern writer EUGENE IONESCO (1909-1994), in his plays,The Chairs and The Bald Soprano. Ionesco is the writer whose sense of literature incorporated with the experiences he gained from his life and the observations that he made in society and people around him.The usage of language in his works we can say, to some extent, is quite similar to other modern writers who motivated their thoughts and writing skills to write in an absurd manner and portray the extreme level of absurdity of human and worlds in their works. But as every writer is having their own way of flourishing the works, like through plot, character, dialogues and scenes and so on. Ionesco too had his way of presenting the levels of absurdity in the society and his technique was 'Language'. He is often called as Man of Anti-Theatre, because of his presentation of language as an impossible means of communication. The paper will present these points briefly and will focus on the two above mentioned texts in detail.
