«Con tan enfermo cerebro»: Fraseología recurrente en Corazón tan Blanco de Javier Marías

espanolCorazon tan blanco (1992) es una de las novelas mas conocidas y laureadas del escritor espanol Javier Marias. Varios trabajos han prestado atencion a esta obra tanto desde la narratologia como desde la critica literaria. Uno de los rasgos mas notorios de esta novela de intriga es la repeticion fraseologica. Aunque la misma ha sido tratada por especialistas en la obra de Marias (Basso 2002, Grohmann 2002, Florenchie 2003, Steen 2011), no existen, que conozcamos, estudios que lo cuantifiquen sistematicamente. Esta contribucion parte de la estilistica de corpus, que prima el tratamiento linguistico en las obras literarias, empleando metodos de la linguistica de corpus, tales como los hallados Stubbs (2005), Mahlberg & McIntyre (2011), Mahlberg (2013a). Este estudio analiza la complejidad de la repeticion fraseologica y cuantifica secuencias de cinco o mas elementos, y, a su vez, observa de que modo dicha repeticion contribuye creativamente en la obra de Marias. EnglishCorazon tan blanco (1992) is probably one of the best known and awarded novels written by Javier Marias. Many scholars have paid attention to this work within narratology and literary criticism approaches. One of the most notorious features of this thriller is its phraseological repetition. Although repetition has been treated by specialists in the work of Marias (Basso 2002, Grohmann 2002, Florenchie 2003, Steen 2011), to our knowledge, there are no studies to date which have quantified this feature systematically. This contribution is based on corpus stylistic approaches, which focuses on the linguistic features in literary works, using corpus methods. Such treatments can be found in the research of Stubbs (2005), Mahlberg & McIntyre (2011), Mahlberg (2013a). This study focuses on the complexity of phraseological repetition and, particularly, in quantifying sequences of five or more elements, but, at the same time, it analyzes how this it contributes to the creative purposes of Marias.
