Abstract:

This book explores the interaction between corpus stylistics and translation
studies. It shows how corpus methods can be used to compare literary texts to
their translations, through the analysis of Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of
Darkness' and four of its Italian translations. 

The comparison focuses on stylistic features related to the major themes of
'Heart of Darkness'. By combining quantitative and qualitative techniques,
Mastropierro discusses how alterations to the original's stylistic features
can affect the interpretation of the themes in translation. The discussion
illuminates the manipulative effects that translating can have on the
reception of a text, showing how textual alterations can trigger different
readings. 

This book advances the multidisciplinary dialogue between corpus linguistics
and translation studies and is a valuable resource for students and
researchers interested in the application of corpus approaches to stylistics
and translation.
