Summary

"This volume brings scholarship on Shakespeare's language fully into the 21st-century. One of five volumes offering the first comprehensive account of Shakespeare's language using computational methods derived from corpus linguistics, Volume 4 reveals the character networks and how words create social worlds. For each play it shows that what matters in Shakespeare's plays is not only the words characters speak, but also the company they keep"-- Provided by publisher.
