Abstract
This study examines the text worlds in Call Me Anna: The Autobiography of Patty Duke (1987) by Patty Duke and Kenneth Turan and When Rabbit Howls (1987) by Truddi Chase. This cognitive stylistic analysis is carried out within the framework of text world theory, which was founded by Paul Werth in 1999 and modified by Joanna Gavins in 2007. Patty Duke - the famous American actress - was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, whereas Truddi Chase - an ordinary American citizen - was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder. The present study concentrates on the way these disorders are evident linguistically. It also focuses on how these mental illnesses impact building the text worlds in the analysed data. A comparison is drawn between the linguistic features of both diseases as well. It can be deduced that the symptoms of mania and depression are represented in the form of epistemic and boulomaic modal-worlds in addition to the metaphor worlds and the relational processes. Multiple personalities are highly revealed via the reference system, namely the way enactors are presented. As for memory fragmentation, which characterizes dissociative identity disorder, it is manifested through the world-switches, epistemic modal worlds along with verbal processes and relational and mental verbs.
