Literary Digital Stylistics in Translation Studies

Abstract

This chapter introduces a methodology of literary digital stylistics in translation studies where the traditional linguistic approach is complemented with extra-linguistic analytical tools specialized in identifying and comparing features of literary style such as the stream of consciousness, interior monologue, and free indirect discourse with intended ambiguous shifts of points of view between characters and narrator. The linguistic and extra-linguistic features can be studied as part of the literary style that characterizes the examined source and target texts.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The Italian Jesuit priest Roberto Busa (2004) and Hammond (2016: 83) recall that studies in linguistics using a digital corpus can be dated back to the Index Thomisticus project initiated by Busa himself in the late 1940s. The Index project entailed the compilation of a corpus stemming from the philological research following Busa’s doctoral dissertation on the notion of “presence” in the works of St Thomas Aquinas. The diversity, range, and sheer huge textual size of Aquinas’ writings, comprising more than ten million words, led Busa to seek and gain support in the USA from IBM to build a corpus. IBM also provided instructions on how to digitalize texts into a monolingual corpus (mainly in Latin) on punch cards. The term “corpus” itself is evidently derived from the famous Corpus Iuri Civilis, the collection of ancient Roman laws compiled in the sixth century CE under the emperor Iustinian I.

  2. 2.

    Munday (2016: 189–190) describes these contributions in these terms: “The key publication of this group of scholars, known as the Manipulation School or Group, was the collection of papers entitled The Manipulation of Literature: Studies in Literary Translation, edited by Theo Hermans (1985). […] Scholars from the late André Lefevere […] began to consider more closely the role of ideology and patronage in the system of translated literature” [emphasis added].

  3. 3.

    In her subsequent paper Corpus Stylistics, Mahlberg (2016: 154) stresses her point: “crucially the corpus stylistic circle can only go full swing if the literary dimension is taken into account”.

  4. 4.

    Even-Zohar (1990), Lambert (1995), Toury (2012 [1995]: 85), Hermans (2014 [1999]: 102–119), Munday (2016 [2001]: 170–174), and Shuttleworth (2020 [1998]: 419–423) provide detailed accounts of the polysystem theory.

  5. 5.

    The VW-Corpus Processor software was designed by the author specifically for this study. It has been written in Java computer language by Federico Milana, a Ph.D. candidate and MSc in in Human-Computer Interaction at the Division of Psychology and Language Sciences of University College London, BSc in Computer Science from King’s College London. Similar custom-made computer programs can be constructed using platforms such as NLTK with Python.

  7. 7.

    The term “retranslation hypothesis” was used in the past with various meanings, including back translation (e.g., Tyler, 1900).
