Thou
that art now the world’s fresh ornament
And only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within
thine
own bud buriest thy content,
And, tender churl, mak’st waste in niggarding:
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world’s due, by the grave and
thee
.
(
thou
,
thee
= you,
thine
,
thy
= your,
thyself
= yourself)
Here, the author does not name the addressee. Hence the chain contains
only pronouns and looks as follows:
thou – thine – thy – thyself – thy – thy – thou – thine – thee
The general idea behind this writing-out can be different. By
the nominations of the subject or object, we can find out the author’s
attitude to him/her/it. By the frequency of certain forms within the chain,
we can judge on the most important ones for the author. The contextual
combinations of each nomination within a chain and their distribution in
the text can provide further material for analysis. These three parameters
correspond to the three main aspects of categorical text analysis: s e t,
c o m b i n a t o r i c s, d i s t r i b u t i o n.
