I had such a wonderful day at #CharacterBuild19 @UoNEnglish ! I am so thankful for the great feedback I have received but also to have witnessed such inspiring talks and discussions 👌 #phd #research
Some excellent questions for us all to reflect on at the end of a thought provoking day #CharacterBuild19
@drmattvoice explains the principle of minimal departure - ‘We know/assume that Poirot doesn’t have three eyes. Because if he did it would have been mentioned.’ #CharacterBuild19
In our penultimate paper of the day we have @drmattvoice with his paper The Perception and Construction of Identity in Discourse! #CharacterBuild19
@drmattvoice promises in a few minutes he’s going to make us vote on where wizards poo. We’re all very excited 🧙♂️ 💩 #CharacterBuild19
Emma Putland discusses contrasting narrative and characterization strategies in campaign videos for dementia research #CharacterBuild19
Sieriakova and Kokoza: hair style, clothes, jewellery & tattoos are all artifactual codes, and are a form of non-verbal communication #CharacterBuild19
Next up Sieriakova and Kokoza looking at how characters can be built through the representation of their clothes #CharacterBuild19
The tweet above tried to autocorrect pathetic fallacy to “athletic fallacy” - can we crowd source a #CharacterBuild19 definition of this too please? Skipping = joy? Running = sadness (or is that just me... 🏃♀️😰)
Kimberley Pager shows us that there’s never a scene in #HowIMetYourMother that doesn’t utilise pathetic fallacy! #CharacterBuild19
@kpager1 Discusses the communication of emotions in the experience/definition of pathetic fallacy #CharacterBuild19
Suzanne McClure gets us to guess whether male or female characters perform unusual reporting verbs more in #DHLawrence’s novels! Women ‘coax’ and ‘shrill’ more, but men ‘ejaculate’ more (and they ‘protest’ about the same) #TheJokesWriteThemselves #CharacterBuild19
Suzanne McClure: Corpus stylistic analysis can be hindered/complicated by pronouns. Searching “Mrs Morel said” in #SonsAndLovers (... Sons AS Lovers?!) is easy - “she said” is harder to unpick which she we’re looking at in a concordance #CharacterBuild19
Fascinating stuff from @shefenglish’s own Jane Hodson looking at the relationships between dialect representation and character in literature - readers attend to some textual cues & ignore others to construct the dialect they imagine is there #CharacterBuild19
Jane Hodson points out that metalinguistic statements interact with dialect markers in direct speech to build up character in fictional texts #CharacterBuild19
Carolina Fernandez-Quintanilla reminding us that our assumptions about the ontology of characters influences our analyses, with examples from reader responses to stories by Eduardo Galeano #CharacterBuild19
A very lively start to our Character Building symposium this morning at @LakesideArts! @Stylistics_RG #CharacterBuild19
