Instead of treating gender primarily as a thematic issue, it considers gender as interwoven with literary language, focusing on moments when narrative form, syntax, and voice breakdown under social and psychological pressure. Drawing on Julia Kristeva’s distinction between the semiotic and the symbolic, the analysis centers on four texts in which the relationship between gender and language becomes especially visible: \u003cem\u003eThe Awakening\u003c\/em\u003e by Kate Chopin, “The Yellow Wall-Paper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, \u003cem\u003eSave Me the Waltz\u003c\/em\u003e by Zelda Fitzgerald, and \u003cem\u003eAs I Lay Dying\u003c\/em\u003e by William Faulkner. It contributes to feminist literary criticism and modernist studies by showing how literary language and stylistic form express tensions that cannot be fully conveyed through narrative content alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eIvana Culjak received her PhD in English Literature from the University of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
