Corpus Stylistics and Dickens's Fiction (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a way into the Dickensian world that starts from linguistic patterns, employing corpus linguistic methodology to study electronic versions of his texts. With its corpus stylistics focus, the book presents an innovative approach to the language of one of the most popular English authors, taking a fresh view on aspects such as characterization, speech and body language. Thus, Mahlberg bridges the gap between linguistic and literary studies, providing a useful resource for both researchers and students of language and literature.
