Abstract:

This paper explores the differences between the young adult version and the original version of The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown through the lens of corpus linguistics. The study adds to the limited number of linguistic case studies analysing intralingual literary adaptations for children and highlights ‘traditional’ adaptation strategies such as Purification, Language adaptation, Abridgment and Localization. However, the analyses also highlighted other types of adjustments not covered in the above categories and previously observed in another study on intralingual adaptations for young audiences (Bianchi 2018). This suggests the need for creating a classification of adaptation strategies specific to intralingual adaptations targeting young readers.
