The study found that characteristics of anaphora and co-reference in the fable quantitatively supported a study The Language of George Orwell by Fowler (1995) regarding the most significant frequency of anaphoric pronouns (77.90%), which conveyed limited and collective third-person narrative point of view, and the minor frequency of co-reference (6.53%) due to a non-poetic style of the Orwellian language. Moreover, the association of anaphora and co-reference features and Thai version publication years had statistical significance at the level of P < 0.01. Other found patterns include (1) 20th-centuryeditions prefer null anaphora due to localisation, (2) 21st-century editions prefer anaphoric pronouns due to foreignisation, and (3) divergent editions of TT8 (2012) and TT5 (1977) are likely the result of the individual stylistic preference of null anaphora and co-references.Item Metadata only Variations in Zhuang traditional character (Sawndip) as written in Mo books : a case study of function words(Mahidol University.
