Abstract

This paper studies the use of formal vocabulary as a stylistic feature in João Ubaldo Ribeiro’s novel O feitiço da ilha do pavão (1997). It focuses on nouns, adjectives and verbs used in the construction of the characters’ and the narrator’s several voices, specially seeking to stress terms which may represent traditions of the language through the repertoire selected by the author.
