It illustrates how corpus linguistic methods can be employed to study electronic versions of texts by Charles Dickens. With particular focus on Dickens's novels, the book proposes a way into the Dickensian world that starts from linguistic patterns. The analysis begins with clusters, i.e. repeated sequences of words, as pointers to local textual functions. Combining quantitative findings with qualitative analyses, the book takes a fresh view on Dickens's techniques of characterisation, the 410 0$aRoutledge Advances in Corpus Linguistics 606 $aCorpora (Linguistics) 606 $aEnglish language$xStyle 606 $aDiscourse analysis, Literary 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCorpora (Linguistics) 615 0$aEnglish language$xStyle. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis, Literary. 676 $a823/.8 700 $aMahlberg$b Michaela.$0624451 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462668203321 996 $aCorpus stylistics and Dickens's fiction$92050988 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02897nam 2200625Ia 450 001 9910455566603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-55621-5 010 $a9786612556210 010 $a0-520-94549-2 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520945494 035 $a(CKB)2520000000006953 035 $a(EBL)837194 035 $a(OCoLC)647881130 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000422693 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11304993 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000422693 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10432485 035 $a(PQKB)11099485 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC837194 035 $a(DE-B1597)520221 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520945494 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL837194 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10367584 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL255621 035 $a(EXLCZ)992520000000006953 100 $a20090420d2010 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMark Twain$b[electronic resource] $ethe adventures of Samuel L.

In this new biography, published on the centennial of the writer's death, Jerome Loving focuses on Mark Twain, humorist and quipster, and sheds new light on the wit, pathos, and tragedy of the author of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In brisk and compelling fashion, Loving follows Twain from Hannibal to Hawaii to the Holy Land, showing how the southerner transformed himself into a westerner and finally a New Englander. This re-examination of Twain's life is informed by newly discovered archival materials that provide the most complex view of the man and writer to date. 606 $aAuthors, American$y19th century$vBiography 606 $aHumorists, American$y19th century$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAuthors, American 615 0$aHumorists, American 676 $a818/.409 676 $aB 700 $aLoving$b Jerome$f1941-$0699911 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455566603321 996 $aMark Twain$92470125 997 $aUNINA
