"In our project, the research team will work on two separate corpora comprised of texts selected from children’s literature in English and the English Romantic poetry. After building their corpus of presumably over 100.000 and 250.000 words respectively, the team will analyse the stylistic features with the help of corpus tools and then interpret the findings, employing the relevant literary theory (i.e. feminism, ecocriticism and so forth). For this project, we adopted a top-down corpus-driven approach. Accordingly, we will first identify the key semantic domains in our corpora, utilising the corpus tool Wmatrix. In the second phase of the research, we will analyse these key semantic domains to foreground the frequent lexical items through another corpus tools, Lancsbox and Sketchengine. Finally, we will further explore the frequent items and corresponding concordance lines to detect the common stylistic features in our copra."
