| Abstract | As tools such as corpus linguistics arise within the field of theoretical humanities to bridge the gap between disciplines, the utilization of software-based resources presents itself as a vital element in a contemporary analysis of a work of literature. This paper intends to shed light on the stylistic peculiarities of Beckett’s works and their adaptation to other cultural contexts in translation through the use of corpus linguistics. A close observation of the stage directions in Happy Days reveals that the author performs linguistic choices that establish different mental associations in each language, especially with regards to the construction of gender roles in the play. This thence creates a work of translation that could be more adequately understood as a revision of his own play rather than as a complete adaptation in itself. |
