Preliminary Class Business
1. Deciding on a Corpus For Our Class Project
- Following up on ideas discussed in our last class:
- Eve, Lindsay, Alec, Ashley: Further thoughts about the 19th-century British novels corpus?
(Spreadsheet of the corpus: metadata.xls) -- Also: we could customize a collection from Project Gutenberg's "Bookshelf" categories.
- Jennifer: "I" in the corpus?
- Maithy, Sinead: children's books?
- Ginny: translations?
- Also use the Project Gutenberg "modern" corpus we now have?
2. Research Question
- Main research question?
- Subordinate or related research questions?
3. Analytical Methods (and Tools)
4. Initial Tasks and Project Team Organization
Initial Plans:
- Corpus: 19thC. Children's fiction (compared to 19thC. novels, and possibly selective contemporary children's fiction)
- Possibly segment the study by chronological era.
- Task 1: finalize list of children's fiction: (Lindsay)
- Task 2: select a few contemporary works of children's fiction: (Ashley & Jennifer)
- Task 3: history of children's fiction (Ginny, Maithy, Sinead)
- Task 4: organize chronological scope of the study.
- Task 5: looking for research question.
- Possibilities: pronouns, gender differences (authors, characters), vocabulary
