The primary aim of the paper is to determine how Mr. Rochester’s and Heathcliff’s speech reflect their Byronic personalities, exploring both the parallels that can be drawn between them and what makes them distinct-ly different. The corpus analysis is based on the corpora of character speech, and the Sketch Engine corpus tool is used to process the data and perform detailed analyses such as n-grams, which identify common sequences of words, and word frequencies, which highlight the most frequently used words by each character. Additionally, keywords and multi-word expressions are examined to uncover unique and defining linguistic patterns. The results are first interpreted and discussed separately for each character, highlighting their individual linguistic features and unique attributes. Following this, a comparative analysis is conducted to identify the similarities and differences between the two characters based on the corpus data. The discussed features show that Heathcliff’s speech reflects his feelings of inadequacy, brutality, competition and obsession with other people, while it is evident in the case of Mr Rochester that he is undyingly devoted to the woman he loves, while also being tortured by his past. Each of these analytical methods exposes interesting differences in their speech, illustrating how both Mr. Rochester and Heathcliff embody the dark and brooding traits of Byronic Heroes in distinct ways, offering fresh insights into the enduring legacy of these charactersČlanek uporablja korpusno analizo kot empirični temelj za karakterizacijo najbolj znanih byron-skih junakov sester Brontë – gospoda Rochestra iz romana Jane Eyre, ki ga je napisala Charlotte Brontë, in Heathcliffa iz romana Viharni vrh, katerega avtorica je Emily Brontë. Primarni cilj pri-spevka je ugotoviti, kako govor gospoda Rochestra in Heathcliffa izraža njuno byronsko osebnost, in raziskati, katere vzporednice lahko zasledimo med njima in kaj ju dela izrazito različna. Anali-zirane jezikovne značilnosti obeh izbranih likov temeljijo na korpusih njunega govora, za obdelavo podatkov pa je uporabljeno korpusno orodje Sketch Engine. Korpusna analiza je narejena na pod-lagi n-gramov, ki identificirajo pogosta zaporedja besed, in besednih frekvenc, ki izpostavljajo naj-pogosteje rabljene besede vsakega od likov. Za poglobljeno analizo smo uporabili ključne besede in besedne zveze, saj te razkrivajo unikatne in specifične jezikovne vzorce, pri čemer govor enega vedno primerjamo z drugim likom kot referenčnim korpusom. Rezultate najprej interpretiramo in postavimo v kontekst za vsak lik posebej, kar razkrije njune edinstvene lingvistične značilnosti in unikatne atribute. Nato sledi primerjalna analiza, s katero se identificirajo podobnosti in razlike med obema byronskima likoma na podlagi podatkov iz korpusa. Obravnavane značilnosti kažejo, da se v Heathcliffovem govoru odražajo občutki nezadostnosti, brutalnosti, tekmovalnosti in ob-sedenosti z drugimi ljudmi, medtem ko je pri gospodu Rochesterju očitno, da je neomajno predan ljubljeni osebi, hkrati pa ga mučijo dogodki iz preteklosti. Vsaka od naštetih analitičnih metod raz-kriva zanimive razlike v njunem govoru in prikaže kako se temačnost byronskega lika izkazuje v gospodu Rochestru in Heathcliffu ter tako prispeva nov vpogled v trajno zapuščino teh dveh likovTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta
