Inhaltsangabe

The Linguistics of Harry Potter: Language, Discourse, Identity, and World-Building offers the first comprehensive synthesis of linguistic scholarship on J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Bringing together research from stylistics, corpus linguistics, critical discourse analysis, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics, narratology, possible-worlds theory, translation studies, and digital humanities, the book demonstrates how the series has become one of the most significant literary corpora in contemporary linguistic research. It explores Rowling's distinctive use of language, including neologisms, naming practices, dialogue, humor, characterization, and narrative style, while examining broader issues of identity, gender, ideology, power, and social representation. The book also surveys research on translation, fan discourse, and computational approaches to the series, highlighting the global and interdisciplinary reach of Harry Potter studies. By integrating diverse theoretical and methodological traditions, the book establishes Harry Potter as a rich site for linguistic inquiry and offers a roadmap for future research on language in popular fantasy literature.
