Derlem dilbilim analizi orijinal metinlerin elektronik ortamlarda kaydedilmesi ve kullanılması üzerine kuruludur ve bu yöntem sadece dilbilimsel çalışmalarda değil, aynı zamanda edebiyatta edebi metinlerin daha önce tartışılmamış veya tespit edilmemiş anlamlarını ortaya çıkarmada da önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu çalışma Feminist üslup teorisinin bir tamamlayıcısı olarak Woolf ve Bennett'in söylemlerini derlem dilbilim yöntemleri kullanarak cinsiyetçi dil açısında incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Woolf’un Dışa Yolculuk, Bayan Dalloway ve Deniz Feneri ile Bennett’ in Beş Kentin Anna’sı, Eski Eşler Masalı ve Becerikli Helen eserleri derlem dilbilim yöntemleri kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Cinsiyete dayalı ikili karşıtlıkların bağlamlı dizinleri (kız-oğlan, kadın-erkek, hanımefendi-beyefendi, eril-dişi) dilin cinsiyetçi yönleri açısından analiz edilmiş ve sonuçlar feminist edebiyat eleştirisi teorilerine uygun olarak değerlendirilmiştir.

A Corpus-Based Analysis of Virginia Woolf and Arnold Bennett

Öz

Corpus linguistics analysis is founded on the use of electronic collections of naturally occurring texts and it provides analysis of a great quantity of data not only in linguistic studies but also in literature by uncovering meanings of literary texts that have not been discussed or detected before. As a complement of feminist stylistics theory, this study aimed at examining the discourses of Woolf and Bennett in terms of sexist language through a corpus-based analysis. Virginia Woolf’s The Voyage Out, Mrs. Dalloway, To the Light House and Arnold Bennet’s Anna of the Five Towns, The Old Wives Tale, Helen with the High Hand were analyzed using corpus linguistics methods. The concordance lines of the gendered binary oppositions girl-boy, woman-man, lady-gentleman, female-male were analyzed in terms of sexist language aspect and the results were evaluated under feminist literary criticism theories.
