William Shakespear and Lingvopoetic Analysis of His Comedies

Abstract

Shakespeare’s comedies are renowned for their linguistic play, their wit, and their exploration of complex themes. However, the linguistic features of these plays are often overlooked in discussions of their literary and cultural significance. This article explores the use of lingvopoetic analysis as a tool for understanding the language of Shakespeare’s comedies. Through close examination of the linguistic features of Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as well as other comedies such as The Comedy of Errors and Much Ado About Nothing, this article demonstrates the ways in which Shakespeare used language to create character, explore themes, and reflect the cultural and literary influences of his time. By using lingvopoetic analysis to examine these plays, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the nuances of Shakespeare’s language and the enduring appeal of his comedies.
