Abstract
The author carries out an analysis of metacommunicative and metalinguistic aspects in “Life and Fate” by V. Grossman, being the reflection on language and its manipulation in totalitarian regimes one of the novel’s hidden themes, and yet a fundamental one.
The analysis points out two kinds of communication in the novel: the totalitarian communication versus the antitotalitarian one. Their linguistic and communicative features are then described taking into account different examples and a special emphasis is put on how do they cooperate to the narrative-thematic construction of the novel.
