D·H·劳伦斯在小说《恋爱中的女人》里多处运用darkness一词来表现他的小说衰败、腐朽和死亡的主题。通过采用小说生语料库,分析该词的出现频率和索引行,发现darkness蕴含的不仅是毁灭,还有在毁灭中重生的意义,从而体现劳伦斯死亡与新生、毁灭与创造、腐朽与更新的哲学思想。 DH Lawrence uses the word darkness in his novel The Woman in Love to express the theme of the decay, decay and death of his novel. By using the novel corpus and analyzing the appearance frequency and index line of the word, it is found that darkness contains not only the destruction but also the meaning of being born again in destruction so as to reflect the philosophical thought of Lawrence’s death and renaissance, destruction and creation, decay and renewal .
