Resumo: |
The author of this empirical language study aims at offering evidence of the linguistic characterization of some Wonder Woman comic book characters by finding which keywords from specific reference corpora have been incorporated to the aforementioned characters vocabulary, and to what extent. In order to achieve such an aim, the researcher, first, brings to light the 100 relevant keywords from each of his six specific natural language samples by comparing their vocabularies to that of a generic reference corpus (such as the BNC); then, the incorporated keywords are found. Only the texts (not the drawings) from 24 issues of the WONDER WOMAN comic book (published in the late 1980s) have served him as his study corpus. All the stories in that selected corpus were both written and drawn by George Pérez. The researcher s methodological and theoretical basis is from the Corpus Linguistics field (or the corpus-based approach). The results seem to warrant the conclusion that, based on the study of those characters vocabulary, which is a manifestation of the writer s stylistic choices, both the method developed for this research and the theoretical basis selected by the researcher have been proven valuable not only to make the linguistic characterization (of comic book characters) evident, but also to analyze it |
