Abstract

ABSTRACT This study based on the use of methods of corpus linguistics compares literary and ‘naive autobiographies’ of men and women. The empirical material of this research is represented by texts of autobiographies of men from provincial Russia, the corpus of ‘naive’ male autobiographies comprises 36 interviews (28,335 word usages). For the comparative analysis 46 female autobiographies have been used (the total corpus contains 48,530 word usages) dwelling in the countryside and provincial towns as well. The other group of materials includes 20 ‘literary autobiographies’ of writers (the corpus of literary male autobiographies contains 27,241 word usages). It was found that the autobiographies of writers, as well as the autobiographies of ‘ordinary males’, are being constructed by the authors within the boundaries of the ‘male culture’ rules regardless of abilities and literary experiences.

男性生活在文学和“幼稚”的自传中

摘要:本研究基于语料库语言学的方法，比较了男性和女性的文学自传和“幼稚自传”。本研究的经验材料由来自俄罗斯省的男性自传文本代表，“天真”男性自传语料库包括36个访谈(28,335个单词用法)。为了进行比较分析，使用了居住在农村和省城的46本女性自传(总语料库包含48,530个单词用法)。另一组资料包括20位作家的“文学自传”(男性文学自传的语料库包含27,241个单词的用法)。研究发现，作家自传以及“普通男性”自传都是作者在“男性文化”规则的范围内建构的，而不考虑其能力和文学经历。
