Why choose this project topic?
This topic turns literary stylistics into a focused reading task by investigating the positioning of readers through untranslated multilingual passages. A clearly bounded corpus gives you passages to compare and an argument to develop beyond a general plot summary.
What does a close analysis of two Nigerian English-language novels containing recurring multilingual dialogue reveal about the positioning of readers through untranslated multilingual passages?
Agree the corpus size, editions and critical framework for this study of the positioning of readers through untranslated multilingual passages with your supervisor.
