[Corpora-List] Stylistics and corpus linguistics

[Martin Wynne]

Dear All,

I have a query about work done on the interface of stylistics and corpus
linguistics, and would be grateful if anyone could provide any thoughts or
pointers to work in this area.

What I am thinking of is principally linguistic studies of literature which
make use of corpora or corpus linguistics techniques.

Examples of this would be:
- studies which have compared a given feature in a literary text with its
usage in a reference corpus, possibly to identify and/or quantify deviation
from non-literary norms;
- adding annotation of linguistic categories in electronic literary texts;
- construction of corpora of literary texts.

I am arbitrarily excluding:
- stylometry and authorship studies
- literary concordances (which don't do any more than that)
- linguistic studies of a literary text which happen to have used an
electronic text or computational techniques,  but not a corpus or anything
normally understood as a corpus linguistic technique.

Thanks for any pointers.
