Resumen
La presente disertación investiga los adjetivos calificativos empleados en la novela The Left Hand of Darkness (Le Guin, 1969) para describir a Therem Harth rem ir Estraven, uno de sus personajes principales. El propósito central del proyecto es determinar si estos tienen un cariz principalmente positivo o negativo. Para ello, partimos de investigaciones anteriores relacionadas, que hasta ahora solo habían tratado aspectos como el uso de pronombres personales o la influencia del léxico empleado sobre la imagen de dicho personaje. Nuestra hipótesis es que, al menos en los primeros capítulos de la novela, aquellos adjetivos tradicionalmente asociados a la feminidad se emplean de forma peyorativa, mientras que aquellos vinculados a la masculinidad poseen un matiz positivo. Mediante el uso de metodologías como la lectura distante (Moretti, 2000) o la teoría de la evaluación, se ha creado un corpus que, puede argumentarse, se suma a la línea de investigaciones con perspectiva feminista dentro del campo de la lingüística de corpus.
This dissertation investigates the qualifying adjectives used in the novel The Left Hand of Darkness (Le Guin, 1969) to describe Therem Harth rem ir Estraven, one of its main characters. The central purpose of the paper is to determine whether these adjectives are primarily positive or negative in nature. To this end, we draw on previous related research, which until now had only addressed aspects such as the use of personal pronouns or the influence of the lexicon used on how this character is perceived. Our hypothesis is that, at least in the first chapters of the novel, adjectives traditionally associated with femininity are used pejoratively, while those linked to masculinity have a positive connotation. Using methodologies such as distant reading (Moretti, 2000) and Appraisal theory, we have created a corpus that arguably contributes to feminist research in the field of corpus linguistics.
