For James Joyce, style may be a play with the freedom of newly created forms and the words dance out their own rhythms when they fly at random in the mind. Basically, Joyce's stylistic presentations of objects and facts signify his stances toward the real world, or reality. Various devices, such as linguistic parodies, have been devised to aggrandize the mundane. The language in Ulysses often transgresses the borderline to problematize the established conventions, but flooded by the memory of prior uses, it is colored by a citational quality. In fact, many of the stylistic eccentricities can be classified as different types of rhetorical performances for specific purposes. This study will probe into the syntactical contrivances of Ulysses to reveal the lyricalness of the fiction.
