- W2594468586 abstract "My interest in the language of dialogue in fiction was first aroused when I looked into sentence length (de Haan, 1993) and noticed that the two authors of the crime novels in the Nijmegen corpus were quite different in their use of what in Quirk et al. (1985) is called ‘reporting clauses’, and what in the TOSCA analysis system (Oostdijk, 1993) is referred to as ‘reporting utterances’. One of the two authors, for instance, far more often made explicit reference to somebody’s speech by means of reporting clauses than the other. The same author also used far more different verbs in these reporting utterances than the other. One of the questions that these observations naturally led to was whether they point to a different attitude of the author to representing dialogue in fiction. Variation in the use of reporting utterances had also been noticed by Oostdijk (1990), who studied five fiction texts taken from the TOSCA corpus. Oostdijk points out that dialogue in fiction has its own characteristics, which makes it like, but at the same time also different from, spoken language. It is like spoken language, as it clearly reflects the author’s attempt to represent spoken conversation. It is clearly unlike spoken language as it is planned, revised, and edited. Oostdijk assumes a continuous scale with planned discourse at one extreme and unplanned discourse at the other, suggesting that dialogue in fiction is found somewhere between these extremes. Oostdijk (1990) presents an overall picture of five fiction samples from the TOSCA corpus, but suggests that a number of observations point to the existence of idiosyncratic variation among authors. I became more interested in the question whether it is possible to present a coherent picture of this variation, while at the same time characterizing the language of dialogue in fiction more generally. In this article I will restrict myself to a discussion of some preliminary findings and I will try to indicate in which direction further research might be conducted. It should be borne in mind that the term ‘dialogue’ in this article (as in Oostdijk’s) is used to include any kind of direct speech utterance. ICAME Journal No. 20" @default.
