Description | ||||||
The novel A Tale of Two Cities has been regarded as one of the masterpieces of Charles Dickens due to the fact that it is, in Glancy (2006)‟s words, considered to be an exhibition of duality through symbols. Picturesque juxtapositions of two cities – England and France, and of aristocratic people and helpless laymen were vividly highlighted through the use of a wide range of symbols. In employing symbols, the writer used his unique art of writing which can help readers visualize them in their mind‟s eye. This paper attempts to engage in a scientific investigation of Dickens‟ style in employing symbolism using a variety of structures and expressions by means of WordSmith Tool developed by Scott (2015). It is an integrated suite of programmes for “looking at how words behave or are used in texts”. It has also been used by Oxford University Press for lexicographic works and teachers and linguists in observing patterns found in styles of writing. This research focused on three main areas of study related to corpus linguistics namely – (i) Keyness, (ii) Collocation, and (iii) Concordance found in Dickens‟ representation of symbols. The results of the research showed that 9 out of 35 keywords in Dickens Corpus prepared by Koguchi (2009) were found in symbolic representation in A Tale of Two Cities. The most frequent concordance patterns were Article-the+Noun, Noun+Noun, Adjective+Noun and Preposition+Noun. |
