在这篇文章中，我们报告了一个试点项目调查的演讲，写作和思想的介绍，在早期现代英语散文小说和新闻写作。该项目的目的是确定话语呈现是否随时间发生变化，以及各种话语呈现类别在近代早期的功能。为了研究这一点，我们建立了一个小型的语料库，并使用Semino & Short（2004）中概述的语音，写作和思想呈现的模型进行注释。因此，我们能够将我们的研究结果与Semino和Short for Present Day English Writing进行比较。我们的试点研究的定量结果和我们最初的定性分析导致了一些假设，我们建议是适合测试一个更大的语料库的数据。
In this article we report on a pilot project investigating the presentation of speech, writing and thought in Early Modern English prose fiction and news writing. The aim of the project is to determine whether discourse presentation changes diachronically and what the function of the various discourse presentation categories were in the Early Modern period. To study this we have built and annotated a small corpus of Early Modern English writing using the model of speech, writing and thought presentation outlined in Semino & Short (2004). We are thus able to compare our findings against those of Semino and Short for Present Day English writing. The quantitative results of our pilot study and our initial qualitative analyses lead to a number of hypotheses which we suggest are suitable for testing on a larger corpus of data.
