Abstract

In recent years, with the development of corpus linguistics, the gradual integration of stylistics with corpus has given rise to a new approach to literary research—Corpus Stylistics. Corpus Stylistics utilizes corpora and retrieval software to conduct empirical quantitative and qualitative analysis of the stylistic features of literary texts. The article starts from the advantages of applying Corpus Stylistics to the analysis of literary texts, discusses the perspectives and approaches of applying Corpus Stylistics to the analysis of literary texts, with the aim of promoting the research and development of Corpus Stylistics in China to a certain extent.
