Introduction:

Pygmalion of George Bernard Shaw is a play
with a Preface accompanied by Five Acts and
a Continuation. Since each of the five acts
constitutes a possible dialogic framework
for various interpretations and grammatical
categorization and may result in exhaustive
data, this analysis is limited to selective
dialogic frameworks. This article used the
analytical approach of Weigand to examine the
linguistic elements of the dialogic language of
Pygmalion.

The principal source of evidence for the
current research is the dialogical interchange of characters in George Bernard
Shaw’s early twentieth-century British drama Pygmalion Grant. For data analysis,
relevant dialogical exchanges of drama are presented in their original form. The
play is set near the end of the Victorian era, and the dialogue between the characters
depicts various aspects of social life in England. It’s a five-play set that includes a
prefaced and a continuation. Professor Henry Higgins, Colonel Hugh Pickering,
Eliza Doolittle, Alfred P. Doolittle, Mrs. Pearce, Mrs. Higgins, and Freddy Eynsford
Hill are all important characters in the play. The names of the characters are given
in capital letters throughout the sourcebook to ensure consistency when referring to
them in the data analysis and discussion sections. The passages referenced in their
original form, which is the reprinted version of Shaw’s Pygmalion, serve as the
foundation for the review and analysis of the facts in this article. Weigand’s dialogic
values will be used to evaluate the dialogues.
