For this dissertation, the target text for analysis is His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. The overall aim is to analyze its two world-building elements: the narrative space and the fantasy object (referred to as Dust, Shadows, sraf), and how they contribute to the HDM narrative world construction. Analyze them with corpus stylistic methods and cognitive poetic perspectives.
For the chapter on narrative space, the analytical framework is Paul Rayson′s tripartite keyness model (keyword, key part-of-speech, key semantic domain), which is from corpus linguistics. Analyze key linguistic features in the construction of the narrative space. The web-based corpus tool Wmatrix can be used.
