| description | The article focuses on distant reading approaches and the ways literary studies can use these for research of various semantic fields of authors’ corpora (or subcorpora). It provides a closer look at the methodological facets of these approaches, evaluates their adequacy and the possibilities of implementation of chosen linguistic methods in literary studies. These aspects are reflected in polemics with methods and conclusions presented in Richard Změlík’s Konceptualizace barev v narativní fikci na pozadí kvantitativních modelů ([Conceptualisations of colours in narrative fiction on the background of quantitative models] Olomouc: Univerzita Palackého, 2019, 320 pp.), in which the author employed the methodology of distant reading on the corpus of fiction written by the Czech writer Jan Čep (1902 – 1973). The paper aims at contributing to a wider discussion on quantitative methods of distant reading, their application in literary studies and the creation of authors’ specialised and general reference representative literary corpora. |
