Corpus Methods of Analysis of Slavic Language Literature: A Small Corpus of Svetlana Alekseyevich’s Works

Abstract

Examining the state of corpus-based approaches to the analysis of Slavic language literature, the rarity of such research is identified. The advantages of such an approach are noted, and previous research by citing Koteyko is identified. Given that few studies are currently done in Slavic languages or using Slavic language texts using corpus based approaches, the author suggests further research is required. A small corpus of the literary works of Svetlana Alekseyevich was created. The corpus was then analyzed and revealed several tendencies and the focus of the works of Svetlana Alekseyevich. This shows how such an analysis of even a small corpus can be a useful tool in the research of literature.
