Meaning and usage variation of feminine and womanly in American literary history. A corpus based case study

Författare

  • Lavinia Ferm

Summary, in English

The original aim for this case study was to look at how two synonymous
lexemes, feminine and womanly, have varied in meaning over time in both
British and American literature and also, to see if there was a difference in
the usage of the lexemes depending on whether the author was male or
female. As can be read in Lyons (1995: 60), lexemes like feminine and
womanly would be called near-synonyms in linguistic semantics, which
means that they are very similar but not entirely identical in meaning. This
particular difference is what this study will try to discover.
