The impact of the intended reader on language complexity: Supplementive participial clauses in fiction for children and adults
Original language description
The article explores the effect of the intended reader and the writer's distinct style on the structural complexity of fiction written for children and for adults. The study analyses initial supplementive participial clauses in the works of three British authors who have written both for children and for adults - Roald Dahl, J.K. Rowling, and Salman Rushdie. It shows that while retaining their authorial style, these writers adjust their writing to their audience even with respect to such local complexity features as the length, structure, and function of sentence-initial participial clauses.
