In this paper we look at the language used by Franzen to capture Parkinson\u2019s Disease and to describe the protagonist Alfred Lambert. We use linguistic analysis to consider Franzen\u2019s stylistic choices and how they ultimately shape his account of the disease and Alfred\u2019s experiences. Our attention is on passages such as the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u2026but in the instant realizing he was lost, time became marvellously slow and he discovered hitherto unguessed eternities in the space between words and could only stand and watch as time sped on without him\u2026<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Through our analysis we aim to underline the importance of considering linguistic style in novels that explore health, illness and disability. We reflect on the power of health-related literature, but also the potential for the misrepresentation of disability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read the article on the <em>Medical Humanities<\/em> journal website: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mh.bmj.com\/content\/47\/1\/56\"><strong>https:\/\/mh.bmj.com\/content\/47\/1\/56<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2873\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2873\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2873 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2021\/03\/Rutter-Ben-and-Rodney-Hermeston-The-space-between-words-on-the-description-of-Parkinsons-disease-in-Jonathan-Franzens-The-Corrections_Rutter-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Rutter Portrait\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2021\/03\/Rutter-Ben-and-Rodney-Hermeston-The-space-between-words-on-the-description-of-Parkinsons-disease-in-Jonathan-Franzens-The-Corrections_Rutter-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2021\/03\/Rutter-Ben-and-Rodney-Hermeston-The-space-between-words-on-the-description-of-Parkinsons-disease-in-Jonathan-Franzens-The-Corrections_Rutter-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2021\/03\/Rutter-Ben-and-Rodney-Hermeston-The-space-between-words-on-the-description-of-Parkinsons-disease-in-Jonathan-Franzens-The-Corrections_Rutter-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2021\/03\/Rutter-Ben-and-Rodney-Hermeston-The-space-between-words-on-the-description-of-Parkinsons-disease-in-Jonathan-Franzens-The-Corrections_Rutter-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2021\/03\/Rutter-Ben-and-Rodney-Hermeston-The-space-between-words-on-the-description-of-Parkinsons-disease-in-Jonathan-Franzens-The-Corrections_Rutter.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2873\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ben Rutter is a lecturer in clinical linguistics in the Division of Human Communication Sciences, Health Sciences School, The University of Sheffield.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_2874\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2874\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2874 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2021\/03\/Rutter-Ben-and-Rodney-Hermeston-The-space-between-words-on-the-description-of-Parkinsons-disease-in-Jonathan-Franzens-The-Corrections_Hermeston-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Rodney Hermeston Portrait\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2021\/03\/Rutter-Ben-and-Rodney-Hermeston-The-space-between-words-on-the-description-of-Parkinsons-disease-in-Jonathan-Franzens-The-Corrections_Hermeston-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2021\/03\/Rutter-Ben-and-Rodney-Hermeston-The-space-between-words-on-the-description-of-Parkinsons-disease-in-Jonathan-Franzens-The-Corrections_Hermeston-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2021\/03\/Rutter-Ben-and-Rodney-Hermeston-The-space-between-words-on-the-description-of-Parkinsons-disease-in-Jonathan-Franzens-The-Corrections_Hermeston-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2021\/03\/Rutter-Ben-and-Rodney-Hermeston-The-space-between-words-on-the-description-of-Parkinsons-disease-in-Jonathan-Franzens-The-Corrections_Hermeston-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2021\/03\/Rutter-Ben-and-Rodney-Hermeston-The-space-between-words-on-the-description-of-Parkinsons-disease-in-Jonathan-Franzens-The-Corrections_Hermeston-640x853.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2021\/03\/Rutter-Ben-and-Rodney-Hermeston-The-space-between-words-on-the-description-of-Parkinsons-disease-in-Jonathan-Franzens-The-Corrections_Hermeston.jpeg 1788w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2874\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rodney Hermeston is a lecturer in linguistics in the Department of English, Leeds Trinity University.<\/figcaption><\/figure><!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article Summary by Ben Rutter and Rodney Hermeston Jonathan Franzen\u2019s The Corrections (2001) is one of the most prominent novels to feature a character with Parkinson\u2019s Disease.
