Different language for different characters Written by Tracy W (4/29/2007 4:53 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, P&P Focus Topics?, penned by Cheryl

My focus will be on how different characters speak in terms of grammar and word choice. I'm interested in how JA gives different voices to her characters.

I reserve the right to select which characters I compare depending on which strikes me as interesting. :)
