- Title
A Corpus Stylistic Analysis of Development in Hemingway's Literary Production.
- Authors
Ihrmark, Daniel; Nilsson, Johan
- Abstract
Sentence Length In order to see whether or not the sentence lengths recorded are significantly different from those found in works from other authors, data from the Hemingway corpus was compared to different reference corpora. The Hemingway corpus used here is divided into sub-corpora based on periods of the author's career as described by Aaron Edward Hotchner in Hemingway and His World (1989) and contains Hemingway's fiction published between 1922 and 1961. A corpus (a large collection of texts) consisting of novels and short stories written by Ernest Hemingway was created with the goal of providing a linguistic perspective on stylistic features and developments during his literary career. Cohen highlights several examples of Hemingway's writing, mostly lifted from Hemingway's novels, to argue against the "myth" of a stable Hemingway style.
