While it has attracted much discussion from different perspectives, one particular aspect remains to be further explored. A careful examination of this story will enable the readers to discover a certain level of language"deviance", which in fact serves the special purpose of foregrounding. By referring to the"foregrounding theory"and applying Halliday's concept of"motivated prominence"in the linguistic analysis of the story, this paper attempts to draw special attention to such language"deviance"and reveal the hidden messages. By doing so, the readers are expected to acquire a better understanding of the theme and the implica tions in this story and fully appreciate the beauty of such language"deviance"as well as Hemingway's virtuosity in language use in his writing.展开更多
