Abstract

   This article analyzes the linguistic shift from objective narration to subjective internal monologue in the early 20th century. By examining the works of Virginia Woolf and James Joyce, the study investigates how philological innovations—such as the dissolution of standard syntax and the use of "Free Indirect Discourse"—redefined the boundaries of the English novel. The paper argues that these literary techniques were not merely stylistic choices but a philological response to the changing perception of time and human consciousness.
