Conservatism in Selected American and British Novels: A Critical Sociolinguistic Study

The present study employs a critical sociolinguistic model to examine the ideology of conservatism in some American and British selected novels, namely, Huxley's Brave New World (1932), Chickering's Twisted Family Values (2019), Mitford's The Blessing (1951), and Smith's White Teeth (2000). The study suggests that it is important to see how the ideology of conservatism differs from one culture to another and from an old era to a modern one. It finds a gap in dealing with some social issues, e.g., conservatism. In other words, such social issues, like conservatism, are dealt with in a less comprehensive analytic descriptive methodology, which forms a gap in the field of sociolinguistics. To bridge such a gap, the study tries to design an eclectic-developed model in dealing with social issues.
