| Title |
The Music Criticism of Jacob Siskind : A Case Study of Corpus Linguistic Analysis
|
| Abstract |
The author adopts the corpus linguistic methods to study the critical language of influential music critic Jacob Siskind (1928-2010) in the early 1990s and place it in the context of his life and of Canadian classical music criticism at that time. The Montreal-born and McGill University educated Siskind was theatre and entertainment journalist, specializing in ballet and music, for the Montreal Star and later for The Gazette from 1956 to 1977, before moving to Ottawa. The author examined the Siskind archival collection at Carleton University and interviewed Siskind’s close colleagues to understand his approaches to music criticism. The author then explains how corpus linguistics fits within the field of empirical musicology, followed by an introduction to corpus linguistics and a brief survey o f the surviving literature investigating evaluative language and music discourse from a linguistic perspective. The author concludes by examining the corpus linguistics using keyword, concordance and move structure analyses to determine Siskind’s writing style in comparison to that of the Montreal Gazette music critic Arthur Kaptainis.
