This book takes a fresh look at Tolkien's literary artistry from
the points of view of both linguistics and literary history, with
the aim of shedding light on the literary techniques used in The
Lord of the Rings. The authors study Tolkien's use of words, style,
narrative techniques, rhetoric and symbolism to highlight his
status as literary artist. Dirk Siepmann uses a corpus stylistic
approach to analyse Tolkien's vocabulary and syntax, while Thomas
Kullmann uses discourse theory, literary history and concepts of
intertextuality to explore Tolkien's literary techniques, relating
them to the history of English fiction and poetry. Issues discussed
include point of view, speeches, story-telling, landscape
descriptions, the poems inserted into the body of the narrative,
and the role of language in the characterization of the novel's
protagonists. This book will be of particular interest to students
and scholars of literature, corpus linguistics and stylistics, as
well as Tolkien fans and specialists.
This edited book represents the first cohesive attempt to describe
the literary genres of late-twentieth-century fiction in terms of
lexico-grammatical patterns. Drawing on the PhraseoRom
international project on the phraseology of contemporary novels,
the contributed chapters combine literary studies with corpus
linguistics to analyse fantasy, romance, crime, historical and
science fiction in French and English. The authors offer new
insights into long-standing debates on genre distinction and the
hybridization of genres by deploying a new, interdisciplinary
methodology. Sitting at the intersection of literature and
linguistics, with a firm grounding in the digital humanities, this
book will be of particular relevance to literary scholars, corpus
stylists, contrastivists and lexicologists, as well as general
readers with an interest in twentieth-century genre fiction.
German and English: Academic Usage and Academic Translation focuses
on academic and popular scientific/academic usage. This book's
brief is both theoretical and practical: on the theoretical side,
it aims to provide a systematic, corpus-based account of current
academic usage in English and in German as well as of the
translation problems associated with various academic genres; on
the practical side, it seeks to equip academic translators with the
skills required to produce target-language text in accordance with
disciplinary conventions. The main perspective taken is that of a
translator working from German into English, but the converse
direction is also regularly taken into account. Most of the
examples used are based on errors that occurred in real-life
translation jobs. Additional practice materials and sample
translations are available as eResources here:
www.routledge.com/9780367619022. This book will be an important
resource for professionals aspiring to translate academic texts,
linguists interested in academic usage, translation scholars, and
graduate and post-graduate students.
