Abstract

Recently corpus linguistic analyses enable researchers to examine meanings and structural features of data, that is not detected intuitively. While the potential of corpus linguistic techniques has been established and demonstrated for non-literary data, corpus stylistic analyses have been rarely performed in terms of the analysis of literature. Specifically this paper explores keywords and their role in text analysis, which is primary part of corpus linguistic analyses. This paper focuses on the application of techniques from corpus linguistics and the interpretation of results. This paper addresses the question of what is to be gained from keyword analysis by scrutinizing keywords in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

코퍼스 언어학이 연구방법의 한 분야로서 최근 그 입지를 급격하게 넓혀온 가운데, 언어학적 현상과 함께 문학텍스트의 이해를 깊게 하는데 기여를 해 왔다. 최근 코퍼스 언어학의 급속한 저변확대에도 불구하고 문학텍스트 코퍼스를 기반으로 한 고전 및 문학작품의 재해석에 대한 시도는 국내언어학계에서 매우 미미한 실정에 머물러 있다. 이에 본 연구는 코퍼스 언어학의 분석도구인 컴퓨터 콘코던스 프로그램인 워드스미스를 이용하여 방대한 전자텍스트로 이루어져 있는 문학작픔의 문체적 특성과 주요테마를 조사하고자 하였다. 특히 본 연구는 텍스트의 주요한 특성을 나타내는 키워드(keyword)에 초점을 두고 세익스피어의 비극작품인 로미오와 줄리엣을 코퍼스 언어학적 분석기법으로 접근하여 작품세계를 재조명하여 학문적 의의가 크다고 생각되며 앞으로 관련된 후속연구가 이어질 것으로 기대된다.
