Abstract/Summary:
Children’s literature belongs to the world literature with its unique features.It is characterized by fixed readers,simple and straightforward storyline and profound philosophy.It is also rich in humanistic and artistic values.Russian children’s literature inherits the great tradition of Russian literary works.Zheleznikov is one of the representative writers of children’s literature and his works win many international awards and are of great research value.In this dissertation,based on Zheleznikov’s twenty one works on children’s literature,a self-built observational corpus.Therefore,it is divided into two major sections: lexical and syntactic parts based on the self-built data.The process is to explain lexical features at macro level through relevant indicators such as lexical richness,text reading difficulty and explain syntactic features at macro level through syntactic features,sentence length characteristics and sentence dispersion.Then the author go deep into the micro level,extracts data about high-frequency words,real words,imaginary words,keywords to interpret lexical features and extracts data about keyword class clusters,significant class connections and key sentence classes to interpret syntacticl features.The results show that Zheleznikov’s language in children’s literature is characterized by a clear tendency and differentiation of the use of some words,phrases and sentences,so his language has a distinctive personal character.The corpus-driven study of the linguistic features of Zheleznikov’s children’s literature helps to broaden the perspective of traditional children’s literature language studies.The objective and empirical approach can also deepen the understanding of Russian children’s literature,promote the spread and introduction of Russian children’s literature in China,and enrich the corpus-diven research on children’s literature.
