Abstract

Abstract

From the perspective of CDA, this paper examines Nadsat in A Clockwork Orange. As an anti-language of the teenagers in this novel, Nadsat is a representation of the countercultural identity, which is characterized by its resistance to mainstream culture. The discourse of the youth shapes their countercultural identities.
