An Integrated Study of Small-Corpus-Based Stylistics and the Theory of Meaning

本研究验证了基于小语料库和非语料库相结合的方法的有效性和有效性。基于小语料库的方法主要处理作者写作的具体结果，但不能理解导致结果的原因或过程。例如，在《文学和语言计算》中的一篇文章《基于小语料库的爱丽丝的角色》中，爱丽丝的搭配数据很好地再现了爱丽丝是如何用修饰语来描述她的，以及她是如何用状语来说话的，但令人遗憾的是，其他人对爱丽丝的称呼是什么。基于语料库的量化方法，换句话说，处理的是“指称”，而“意义”应该通过文本解释或有时是推断处理来把握。这种定性的方法需要文体学、语用学、认知语言学和关联理论的综合研究，从而产生了一种新的意义理论，通过对两种不同方法的综合研究，有助于阐明文学作品的外在价值和内在价值。这项研究展示了使用小语料库进行文体学研究的具体程序之一，它为不可避免的主观解释提供了更系统的证据，如Stubbs(2005：22)。

This study develops effectiveness and validity of the small-corpus-based approach combined with the non-corpus-based. The small-corpus-based approach mainly treats the concrete results of the author's writing, but cannot fathom causes or processes leading to the results. For example in the article, 'A Small-Corpus Based Approach to Alice's Roles' adopted in Literary and Linguistic Computing, collocation data for Alice serve well to retrieve how Alice is described in terms of modifiers and how she speaks in terms of adverbials, but regrettably what Alice is called by others. The corpus-based quantitative approach, in other words, deals with 'reference' while 'sense' should be grasped through textual interpretation or sometimes inferred processing. This qualitative approach requires comprehensive studies in stylistics, pragmatics, cognitive linguistics and relevance theory, which leads to a new theory of meaning.An integrated study of two different approaches collaborated contributes to the elucidation of the extrinsic and intrinsic value of literary works. The study exhibits one of concrete procedures for stylistic research with small corpus processing, which provides 'more systematic evidence for unavoidable subjective interpretation' as in Stubbs (2005 : 22).
