This book presents an innovative approach to the language of one of
the most popular English authors. 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 literary presentation of body language and
speech in fiction. The approach brings together corpus linguistics,
literary stylistics and Dickens criticism. It thus contributes to
bridging the gap between linguistic and literary studies and will
be a useful resource for both researchers and students of English
language and literature.
