This study investigated the semantic interpretations of existential there constructions in an English novel. While previous studies focused on the study of existential there constructions in academic texts, non-native English speakers, spoken language, different text varieties, and international corpora, this study contributes to the view of existential there constructions in an English novel, where it is accessible reading material for everyone. The data collection was the English novel Crime and Punishment: The Gambler Notes from Underground due to it being a best seller (amazon.com). The data collection was approximately 250,000 words, comprising 38 relevant sentences. The data analysis of semantic interpretations follows Jiang and Hyland (2020). The data validation in this study adopted the process of Index of Item Objective Congruence (IOC) where three experts in the field of English were asked to check the accuracy. The results show that the semantic interpretations of the existential there constructions in the novel are subjectivity, comparison, a list of things, reason, and descriptions. The use of existential there constructions in the novel is applicable to the end-weight principle, where heavier and longer information is placed at the end of sentences. It is hoped that the results of this study will be beneficial to learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and learners of English as a Second Language (ESL) to take advantage to learn grammar from different text varieties.
