The Technique of Narrative Acceleration in the Novels of Yassin Shamil

Abstract

This study focuses on exploring the narrative acceleration techniques employed by the novelist Yassin Shamil in his seven novels. The author demonstrates remarkable skill in utilizing various temporal techniques, which positively impact the overall narrative experience.

The research provides a detailed analysis of narrative acceleration, categorized into two primary techniques:

• Summarization Technique: This involves condensing events to compress narrative time, thereby allowing for a faster progression of events without compromising the core essence of the narrative.
• Omission Technique: This entails omitting certain details or secondary events to emphasize key narrative elements and enhance focus on the central storyline.

The study also addresses subsidiary techniques derived from these two methods, contributing to a diversification of narrative styles and an enrichment of the novelistic experience.
