Abstract: James Joyce is the outstanding stream-of-consciousness novelist.One of the remarkable features of his writings was their continuous experimentation on new and sophisticated techniques in novel writing,which made tremendous impact on the creation of both realistic and modern novels in the 20th century.The " stream of consciousness" method was used by Joyce to depict what the inner,mental world of his characters actually was.Joyce was free in his experiments with the English language and grammar.In this thesis,the author analyzed the writing technique of the "stream of consciousness" in James Joyce’s novels,that is,the four language features of his novels: the skipping language to express the consciousness,the characteristic language in his novels,absurd language to show the confused consciousness and the language to show the direct inner monologue.
