year = {2015},
note = {Foreign accents in fiction are a common stylistic instrument of
marking a character as the ‘Other’ and conveying national
stereotypes in literature. This study investigates in a qualitative
analysis the linguistic characteristics of non-native fictional
speech, with a specific focus on the English Renaissance, the
Victorian Age and the 20th-century war decades. After examining the
concept of national identity and the image of the foreigner in these
eras, the study undertakes an in-depth linguistic analysis of a
literary corpus of drama and prose. Recurring patterns in non-native
fictional speech are uncovered and set into relation with the
socio-cultural background of the respective work, which leads to
intriguing findings about the changing image of the foreigner and the
phenomenon of linguistic stereotying in English literature.
