    Hello,

    I am interested if there has been any corpus
    studies (on the BNC, for
    example)  about the frequency etc. of the use
    of the fictional
    characters in imparting meaning in a sentence. For
    example (from a
    sports story): "an ailing Mary Joe Fernandez kept
    her Cinderella
    story alive by defeating Swiss Emmanuela Zardo."
