Abstract

The paper uses keyword analysis as the empirical basis for the characterization of Shakespeare’s character Iago from Othello, the Moor of Venice. The aim of the paper is to determine how Iago’s manner of speech reflects his deceitful and manipulative nature and how it differs from the speech-styles of non-deceitful prominent characters: Othello, Cassio, Roderigo, Desdemona and Emilia. Keywords for the chosen characters are based on the corpora of character speech and the Sketch Engine tool is used to process the data. The results are then interpreted and discussed on the basis of six interconnected points of discussion: focus, adjectives, use of the expression Moor, references to the handkerchief, poisoning-the-ears technique, and pronouns, all of which confirm that Iago’s manipulative nature is indeed evident in his speech and that there is a clear difference between his speech-style and the speech-styles of other, non-deceitful, prominent characters.

“我不是现在的我”
本文以关键词分析为实证基础,对莎士比亚《威尼斯摩尔人奥赛罗》中的伊阿古进行人物塑造。本文的目的是确定伊阿古的说话方式如何反映他的欺骗和操纵的本质,以及它与非欺骗的突出人物的说话风格有何不同:奥赛罗,凯西奥,罗德力戈,苔丝狄蒙娜和艾米莉亚。所选字符的关键词基于字符语音语料库,并使用Sketch Engine工具对数据进行处理。这些结果是在六个相互关联的讨论点的基础上进行解释和讨论的:焦点,形容词,Moor一词的使用,手帕的引用,毒耳术和代词,所有这些都证实了伊阿古的操纵本性在他的演讲中确实很明显,他的演讲风格与其他非欺骗性的著名人物的演讲风格有明显的区别。
