Abstract

This paper outlines the existence of a polyphony of voices in the short story “Woman Hollering Creek” by Sandra Cisneros. Polyphony, a concept developed by Bakhtin, intends to explain the complex network of voices that comeinto play in a text. Given the multi and transcultural nature of Chicana literature, this theory promises to be particularly useful in representing this literature’s unique qualities, both in terms of content and form. Concepts taken from Systemic Functional Linguistics are used to uncover the ubiquitous polyphony
in the corpus.
