A Corpus Stylistics Approach to Contemporary Present-tense Narrative
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch A Corpus Stylistics Approach to Contemporary Present-tense Narrative

Abstract

This chapter discusses writing presentation in present- and past-tense narrative. In spite of the formal similarities to speech presentation, the frequency of writing presentation in both the PREST and the PAST corpora is much smaller than that of speech presentation. Writing presentation in present-tense narrative in general tends to be more closely tied to the viewpoint of a character. The most frequent category in PREST is NRWA(p), and many examples of this category reflect the characters’ close-up views on what they perceive visually and psychologically.
