Magersfontein, O Magersfontein! as karnavaleske roman
The aim of this investigation is to demonstrate that Etienne Leroux's novel Magersfontein, O Magersfontein! can be decribed as as a carnivalesque work. The concept “carnivalesque” is used in the sense in which it is applied by Mikhail Bakhtin in his Rabelais and His World (1984) in which he investigates popular humour and folk culture during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as portrayed in the novels of François Rabelais. The following aspect…
Reza de Wet herlees Alba Bouwer
This article attempts to take a close look at the intertextual relationship between Reza de Wet's drama Diepe grond and the children's stories of Alba Bouwer. This relationship entails three aspects: confirmation, transformation and undermining. The concept “deep soil” in the title of the drama, the drinking of castor oil and scolding as manifestations of an authoritarian and unsympathetic parental attitude, fleas (lice) as something that need no…
Aspekte van die verhouding skrywer‐karakter‐leser in Kroniek uit die doofpot (John Miles)
In this article certain aspects of the relationship author‐character‐reader in John Miles's novel Kroniek uit die doofpot are discussed.

“Wegwysers” in Komas uit ‘n bamboesstok
In Afrikaans literature D.J. Opperman is famous as writer of the “objective” poem with which he moved away from the very personal “confession cult” of the early thirties. However, his Komas uit ‘n bamboesstok deals with very personal experiences. This article investigates the techniques Opperman applied to enable him to write about his experiences during his serious illness without becoming sentimental or self‐centred. The implications this aim h…
Benoeming as literêre taalhandeling: Ontmoeting by Dwaaldrif
Names, naming and designation play an important part in in Henriette Grove's radio drama Ontmoeting by Dwaaldrif. The most basic function of this speech act is that of identification. The proper name has an identifying but not necessarily a descriptive function. The common noun, on the other hand, is not descriptive enough. Proper names are ‘labels’, although they can sometimes be applied descriptively. In this connection John Lyons’ analysis of …
