- Summary:
- "One of five volumes offering the first comprehensive account of Shakespeare's language to use computational methods derived from corpus linguistics, this volume focuses on keywords in Shakespeare's plays. Play keywords are derived by conducting a statistical comparison between the words in one play with those in all the others. For characters, the comparison is made between the vocabulary of one character and that of all the others in the same play. These keywords are used to create 'linguistic profiles' of each play and main character, which show how patterns of words contribute to themes and the characterization of protagonists"-- Provided by publisher.
