The exploration of literature through corpus-based methods has gained considerable traction in recent decades, largely due to the advent of digital technologies and the increasing availability of electronic textual resources. Two principal types of corpora – parallel corpora and diachronic corpora – have proven especially valuable in enabling researchers to conduct cross-linguistic and historical literary analyses. This article provides a comprehensive examination of the application of parallel and diachronic corpora in literary studies, focusing on the methodological considerations, benefits, and challenges involved. Drawing on foundational research by Biber and Finegan, Johansson, McEnery and Hardie, Mahlberg, and Baker, this article synthesizes critical insights to highlight the theoretical and practical contributions of corpus-based approaches to the study of literature. The findings demonstrate that parallel corpora facilitate cross-linguistic literary comparisons, illuminate subtle shifts in meaning during translation, and offer nuanced perspectives on intertextual dialogue. Diachronic corpora, on the other hand, afford scholars the opportunity to trace the evolution of language and themes within literary works over time, revealing insights about both authorial style and socio-cultural contexts. Despite practical challenges such as corpus construction, alignment, and annotation, these resources significantly enrich literary analysis, ushering in new, data-driven methodologies that complement traditional close reading. This article concludes by underscoring the growing relevance of corpus-based research in advancing the theoretical understanding and practical analysis of literature across different historical periods and languages.
