DEVELOPMENT OF LINGUISTIC COMPLEXITY IN J. K. ROWLING’S HARRY POTTER NOVELS
Abstract
J.K. Rowling created his famous book series about Harry Potter. The first book is about the main character who is only eleven years old and this book is written as a children’s book. According to the stories the main character Harry grows older, and in the last book he is seventeen years old. At this point, the book is not only for children but rather for readers with parallel age to the main character, changing the target audience from being around the age of eleven to the age of seventeen. This development is clearly described in the themes and topics of the books, with a great amount of violence and death, however, the question of this article is what affected it has on the linguistic issues of the texts.
