Description

Corpus stylistics is a relatively new area of study in the discipline of linguistics. This detailed account explores topics in literary stylistics such as interpretation, stylistic variation, irony and characterization using computational and statistical techniques developed in the field including corpus linguistics and humanities computing. Drawing on huge natural, as well as smaller, more specialized corpora, this book uses language-based analysis to produce provocative analyses of poetry, prose and plays.
