This study investigates the applicability and effectiveness of pragmatic-stylistic analysis in fictional dialogues. Taking Kazuo Ishiguro’s short story “Come Rain or Come Shine” in Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall as a case study, a detailed analysis of four fictional dialogues in this story has been conducted in the light of the cooperative principle, the im/politeness theory, and the turn-taking theory. The study has shown that pragmatic-stylistics offers a useful analytical tool in guiding readers to stylistically read character speech forms and interpret textual cues in conversation so as to gain a better insight into the characters’ traits, their power relationships as well as the acceleration and deceleration in the narrative development.
