How does language contribute to the total effect of Huckleberry Finn?

genius that he was, he laid the utmost emphasis on using the right word in the right place.

summary –

Huck’s language is described as “an unfallen Adamic dialect.” But since he is the narrator also we get to hear through him several other voices. Principal among these in Jim’s black dialect which though sometimes called ‘realistic’ is perhaps more correctly described as “romanticized folk speech” Other voices include the voices of vicious characters like Pap, those who like the king and the duke use language to manipulate people, or who like Tom use it as a tool of power. Mark Twain’s use of racist language has been commented upon. But though wholly unconscious, it perhaps shows how even a great writer is limited by his time and place. And yet in spite of this limitation the language of Hucklebeny Finn remains for a large number of people an unfailing source of its appeal that cuts across the boundaries of time and place.
