In this chapter I outline the methods used to interrogate discourses of masculinity in my corpus of women’s magazines. First, I discuss the data selection process, outlining how I built the corpus of magazine data. I provide a breakdown of the corpus contents, including a consideration of the different magazine genres and text types that make up the dataset. I talk about the different target demographics of the magazines in relation to the distinction made between the ‘glossy’ and ‘domestic weekly’ (Hermes 1995) genres. I then discuss the analytical process, detailing how I have combined Jeffries’ (2010b) model of Critical Stylistics with some basic tools from corpus linguistics.
