Scientific Study from the year 2017 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, Thi-Qar University (College of Arts), language: English, abstract: This book is an attempt to explore the lexical richness of certain well-known literary texts using a statistical gauge called lexical richness curve. The analysis conducted throughout this scientific study is corpus-based and a recent version of WordSmith Tools (0.7) is used to process the basic statistical frequencies of types and tokens. The study depends basically on a wordlist tool used to analyze digital samples of six novels written by three grand novelists: Virginia Woolf's The Waves and To the Lighthouse , James Joyce's Ulysses and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and William Faulkner's Light in August and The Sound and Fury . Fifteen samples are taken randomly from each novel with ( 1000 ) tokens intervals, so the overall samples used in the study are 90 samples. Then each sample is statistically analyzed to find about its lexical richness .The number of the types ( distinct vocabulary words ) and the number of the tokens ( words ) are counted for each sample. The ratio of types and tokens are presented visually by using Microsoft Office Excel diagrams. This will facilitate a rigorous process of figuring out the lexical richness of each novel. It is quite evident that Joyce's Ulysses holds the highest rate of lexical richness while Faulkner's Light in August reserves the lowest lexical richness curve. As for Woolf, her novels are located somewhere in the middle with an exceptional approaching observed in The Waves to Joyce's Ulysses in some textual samples. Moreover, it is an evident feature that the type – token curves for Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Woolf's To the Lighthouse are virtually reciprocal indicating an exceptional similarity in their lexical repertoires.
Document from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, , language: English, abstract: This book aims at surveying the most outstanding dimensions of Joyce's aesthetic employment of language and investigating some of the technical difficulties ascribed to such an artistic employment. Many attempts have been made to assimilate the enormous linguistic revolution set by Joyce through Ulysses. Nonetheless, it is not that much easy to cope with the innovative aspects of the experimental and pioneering linguistic techniques involved especially by those who are not qualified enough with the pervasive side of Joyce' linguistic experimentation. The linguistic features of Ulysses are entirely new, innovative and often misunderstood. The moment it has been published it has stirred up so many critics to comprehend what Joyce has achieved altering the traditions of narrative writing once and forever.
Scientific Study from the year 2023 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, University of Thi-Qar (College of Arts), language: English, abstract: The study explores the narrative viewpoints in Joyce's "The Dead" through an examination of deictic shifts. It contributes to an understanding of the type of cognitive mechanics Joyce employed to capture the reader's cognitive stance. The question regarding the nature of cognitive resources that create a parallel between the narrator, characters, and readers is investigated. The research highlights the role of POPs and PUSHes in portraying the narrative structure. The text is divided into three parts, and the shifts of deictic centers are schematically represented, with a focus on likely deictic foregrounding that has aesthetic functions.
Scientific Study from the year 2017 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, , language: English, abstract: The advancement in computational linguistics and statistics has made an explicit impact on the emergence of corpus linguistics and the sophistication of its applications and studies involving not only pure linguistic issues but also areas related to real-life problems. One of these areas is authorship attribution studies. Authorship attribution is a domain of a study concerned with identifying the most likely author of a particular anonymous or disputed document from a set of suspected authors. To this end, several methodologies, techniques, and approaches have been devised and so often assessed on various sets of data to make sure of their effectiveness. Although the literature shows no consensus as to which methodology is the best among others, there is an overwhelming fact that all authorship attribution studies are grounded on the assumption that each author has a particular "linguistic fingerprint" which can be captured through detecting and measuring the linguistic clues hidden in their authorial styles. Taking an experimental framework, this study is an attempt to gauge the discriminating and clustering power of the selected methodology against a particular type of data covering samples of political journal articles. The corpus compiled is a special purpose one strictly controlled for genre, register, and date of publication. It comprises eleven samples extracted from eleven articles with their lengths ranging between (1,101) to (1,113) words long; three ones are taken as test (hypothetically questioned) samples and the rest as training samples. The corpus represents the journalistic writings of four authors.

Scientific Study from the year 2019 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, Thi-Qar University (College of Arts), language: English, abstract: Over the past 30 years corpus-based investigations have witnessed unprecedented familiarity among the circles and trends of modern linguistic researchers. The research potentialities are limitless and rather confusing. The applications extremely proliferate every day ranging from language teaching, forensic linguistics, historical studies, psycholinguistics, cross-cultural studies to translational studies. This book chases one particular potentiality of corpus-based studies related to the process of translation within a sort of assessment context. The challenges are quite many starting with the scarcity of serious corpus-based studies of Arabic and ending with the complex morphological variations between Arabic and English and the way these variations should be addressed within the context of a corpus-based assessment of the translation as a process. Knowing the criss cross nature of translation assessment, the researchers focused on one specific feature to be traced in the source text and the target text(s). This feature scores the rates of lexical loss in both ST and TT to reach a sort of calculation that might measure the size of the gap between the lexicon sizes of both texts. With the aid of corpus linguistics and stylistics in respect to their meeting area corpus stylistics, the researchers measure the lexicons of three English translations (those of Yusuf, Pickthall and Muhammad) which have shown different degrees of lexical loss in comparison with the original Arabic Quranic text. These degrees go hand in hand with the size of the linguistic repertoire each translator utilizes in his translation to such an extent that it sounds rather promising to regard lexical loss measure as a trustworthy stylistic marker. That is, each translator has his own distinctive rate of lexical loss that might be an idiosyncratic marker of his translational style.
