Abstract
Punctuation has a vital role in having a true interpretation of any text. It is a linguistic form which is connected with stylistics. Stylistics probes the aesthetic spots which are created by linguistic methods to reveal the writer views. Dickinson uses dash as a tool to add extra meaning besides the word. Dash is in need to be read and understood by the readers. Though dash creates a certain problem in the poem, it achieves various benefits of reflecting the sighs, emotion and loss without writing words.
This research analyzes dash as a punctuation mark, which appears widely in Dickinson's poetry.
