| Research Abstract |
This study attempts a multivariate approach to the collocation of gentleman in English prose texts in 18th and 19th Centuries. By applying a stylo-statistical analysis model based on correspondence analysis to the investigation of the collocation of the word gentleman, the present study visualizes the complex interrelationships among gentleman's collocates, interrelationships among texts, and the association patterns between the gentleman's collocates and texts in multi-dimensional spaces. By so doing, the author illustrates how the collocational patterns of gentleman reflects a stylistic variation over time as well as the stylistic fingerprint of the author.
