THE LINGUISTIC REALIZATION OF SOLIPSISM IN FLANNERY O’CONNOR’S SHORT STORY “THE ARTIFICIAL NIGGER” AND ITS ARMENIAN TRANSLATION

Abstract

Language is persistently evolving, adhering to the changes of the world and human life. Often, the lingualization of solipsism in literature is regarded to be tough and challenging. Although being a psychological philosophy, solipsism is often observed in literature. Solipsism is the metaphysical belief that only one’s consciousness exists for certain. Particularly, it is a viewpoint that a person holds when he/she feels that he/she is the only mind that exists or that his mental states are the only mental states.
