To identify fictional speech-bundles, we use three corpora of 19th-century fiction that are available through the corpus stylistic web application CLiC (Corpus Linguistics in Context). We focus on the ‘quotes’ subsets of the corpora, i.e. text within quotation marks, which is mostly equivalent to direct speech. These quotes subsets are compared across the fiction corpora and with the spoken component of the British National Corpus 1994. The comparisons illustrate how fictional speech-bundles can be described on a continuum from lexical bundles in real spoken language to repeated sequences of words that are specific to individual fictional characters. Typical functions of fictional speech-bundles are the description of interactions and interpersonal relationships of fictional characters. While our approach crucially depends on an innovative corpus linguistic methodology, it also draws on theoretical insights into spoken grammar and characterisation in fiction in order to question traditional notions of realism and authenticity in fictional speech.</p> <h3>Authors with CRIS profile</h3> <div class="entity-map"> <a class="entity" href="/persons/230801283/"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 448 512"><path d="M224 256c70.7 0 128-57.3 128-128S294.7 0 224 0S96 57.3 96 128s57.3 128 128 128zm-45.7 48C79.8 304 0 383.8 0 482.3C0 498.7 13.3 512 29.7 512H418.3c16.4 0 29.7-13.3 29.7-29.7C448 383.8 368.2 304 269.7 304H178.3z"/></svg> <span>Agnes Michaela Mahlberg</span> </a> <br> </div> <h3>Involved external institutions</h3> <div class="entity-stack"> <a class="entity" href="/organisations/ext/137325722/"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 576 512"><path d="M543.8 287.6c17 0 32-14 32-32.1c1-9-3-17-11-24L512 185V64c0-17.7-14.3-32-32-32H448c-17.7 0-32 14.3-32 32v36.7L309.5 7c-6-5-14-7-21-7s-15 1-22 8L10 231.5c-7 7-10 15-10 24c0 18 14 32.1 32 32.1h32V448c0 35.3 28.7 64 64 64H448.5c35.5 0 64.2-28.8 64-64.3l-.7-160.2h32zM288 288c-35.3 0-64-28.7-64-64s28.7-64 64-64s64 28.7 64 64s-28.7 64-64 64zM176 400c0-44.2 35.8-80 80-80h64c44.2 0 80 35.8 80 80c0 8.8-7.2 16-16 16H192c-8.8 0-16-7.2-16-16z"/></svg> <span> University of Birmingham </span> <span class="details"> <img class="flag" src=/static/img/flags/gb.svg width="28" alt="GB" > United Kingdom (GB)</span> </a> <a class="entity" href="/organisations/ext/137315166/"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 576 512"><path d="M543.8 287.6c17 0 32-14 32-32.1c1-9-3-17-11-24L512 185V64c0-17.7-14.3-32-32-32H448c-17.7 0-32 14.3-32 32v36.7L309.5 7c-6-5-14-7-21-7s-15 1-22 8L10 231.5c-7 7-10 15-10 24c0 18 14 32.1 32 32.1h32V448c0 35.3 28.7 64 64 64H448.5c35.5 0 64.2-28.8 64-64.3l-.7-160.2h32zM288 288c-35.3 0-64-28.7-64-64s28.7-64 64-64s64 28.7 64 64s-28.7 64-64 64zM176 400c0-44.2 35.8-80 80-80h64c44.2 0 80 35.8 80 80c0 8.8-7.2 16-16 16H192c-8.8 0-16-7.2-16-16z"/></svg> <span> University of Nottingham </span> <span class="details"> <img class="flag" src=/static/img/flags/gb.svg width="28" alt="GB" > United Kingdom (GB)</span> </a> </div> <h3>How to cite</h3> <p><strong>APA:</strong></p> <p>Mahlberg, M., Wiegand, V., Stockwell, P., & Hennessey, A.
