A Corpus Linguistic Approach to Literary Language and Characterization

Virginia Woolf's The Waves

This book focusses on computer methodologies as a way of investigating language and character in literary texts. Both theoretical and practical, it surveys investigations into characterization in literary linguistics and personality in social psychology, before carrying out a computational analysis of Virginia Woolf’s experimental novel The Waves. Frequencies of grammatical and semantic categories in the language of the six speaking characters are analyzed using Wmatrix software developed by UCREL at Lancaster University. The quantitative analysis is supplemented by a qualitative analysis into recurring patterns of metaphor. The author concludes that these analyses successfully differentiate all six characters, both synchronically and diachronically, and claims that this methodology is also applicable to the study of personality in non-literary language. The book, written in a clear and accessible style, will be of interest to post-graduate students and academics in linguistics, stylistics, literary studies, psychology and also computational approaches.

“Language use is one of the most mysterious products of the human mind, and
literature is probably the most enigmatic form oflanguage use” (van Peer 2011: 1)
. Before the arrival of structuralism, the study of literature tended to be based on
free, intuitive interpretation. Today, with the advent of the computer, more
systematic studies can be carried out. Will they offer possibilities for solving the
enigma of language in literature? While computer-assisted methods of enquiry

Sherlock Holmes Vol. 1

The Trial of Sherlock Holmes

The Sixsmiths are a family of suburban Satanists who've fallen prey to the global recession. Now their life is in turmoil: Ralf needs to find a new job; the twins, Cain and Lilith, need to survive the public school system; and Annie needs to keep them all sane and under budget. Meanwhile, their estranged elder daughter Jezabelle is having her own crisis of faith. Will the Devil rise to smite their enemies, or will he damn them with hellfire and wrath?

This is a small shot of Holmes' fingers dropping the burnt up match into a heavy
glass ashtray. There are two balloons from Holmes, off panel. Holmes: A “Miracle
” is it? Am I to take it then that your stay in the country has left you somewhat more
evangelically inclined? Holmes: Have you forgotten so quickly, dear Watson, that
here in the city there are many who move in mysterious ways? Panel One. This is
a shot from the part of the window that Holmes has been peering through so ...

Islam dan Ilmu Pengetahuan

Kewajiban umat Islam menjalankan shalat lima waktu dan ibadah puasa tepat pada permulaan bulan Ramadhan memerlukan perhitungan teliti tentang waktu (tahun, bulan, hari, waktu matahari terbit dan tenggelam, bulan mati, dan sebagainya). Kewajiban membuat perjalanan ziarah ke Mekkah, yakni Haji, menghasilkan berbagai buku berisi keterangan tentang perjalanan, tempat, keadaan dan iklimnya, peta Negara, peta langit dan bumi, kamus, ilmu bumi, planetarium, dan sebagainya. Kewajiban membayar zakat dan pembagian waris pun menuntut perhitungan dan pengukuran yang teliti dari berbagai cabang ilmu pasti. Demikian seluruh pelaksanaan ibadah lainnya, jelas menuntut kemampuan ilmu pengetahuan mereka. Tak sukar dipahami, akibat dorongan Qur’an Suci dan Nabi Suci Muhammad saw di lapangan ibadah dan amal perbuatan, maka sejak dari awal para sarjana Islam menjadi obor ilmu pengetahuan di dunia. Banyak dari karya sarjana Barat yang tak beragama Islam, mengakui betapa besarnya sumbangan para sarjana Islam dahulu dalam lapangan ilmu pengetahuan seperti yang dibahas pada buku ini.

Tak sukar dipahami, akibat dorongan Qur’an Suci dan Nabi Suci Muhammad saw di lapangan ibadah dan amal perbuatan, maka sejak dari awal para sarjana Islam menjadi obor ilmu pengetahuan di dunia.

Mokhtasar Sahih Muslim - Part One - Translated by Ahmad Zidan & Dina Zidan

It was related that Usama ibn Zaid said that the Messenger of God (prayers &
peace be upon him) said: "A Muslim may not inherit from a non-Muslim, and a
non-Muslim may not inherit from a Muslim." 995. It was related that Ibn Abbas
said that the Prophet (Prayers & peace be upon him) said: "Give the shares of the
inheritance that are prescribed in the Qur'an to those who are entitled to receive
them. Then whatever remains, should be given to the nearest male relative of the

Getting Acquainted in Conversation

A study of initial interactions

What makes a ‘getting acquainted’ a recognizable conversational activity, and how are interpersonal relationships established in a first conversation? This book presents a theoretical framework for the study of relationship management in conversation and an empirical study of a corpus of initial interactions. It provides detailed descriptions of the sequential resources unacquainted interlocutors use in order to: – generate self-presentation – introduce topics – establish common contextual resources It is argued that these sequential patterns embody conventionalized procedures for establishing an interpersonal relationship involving some degree of: – solidarity (mutual rights and obligations) – familiarity (mutual knowledge of personal background) – mutual affect (emotional commitment) The sequential analysis is based on a conversation analytic approach, while the interpretive framework consists of pragmatic theories of politeness, conversational style and common ground.

The recurrent occurrence of pre-topical sequences in talk between unacquainted
parties make Maynard & Zimmerman conclude that they are “required
conversational and cultural forms for generating “personal” or autobiographical
talk” in such settings (1984:309). Their aptness for just this context is that they
allow the participants to establish their respective discourse identities and “
generate typified knowledge of each other's biography” (1984:306). This is due to
the 'inference rich' ...
