I N T R O D U C T I O N Style in language is more than just surface appeaxance, on the contrary, it is an essential part of the meaning conveyed by the writer. A computational theory of style could be of great use in many computational linguistics applications. A system that is 'stylistically aware' could analyze the writer's stylistic intent and understand the complex interaction of choices th...

In this contribution, we present a computational stylistic study and comparison of classic French literary texts based on a datadriven approach where discovering interesting linguistic patterns is done without any prior knowledge. We propose an objective measure capable of capturing and extracting meaningful stylistic syntactic patterns from a given author’s work. Our hypothesis is based on the...

The identification of stylistic inconsistency is a challenging task relevant to a number of genres, including literature. In this work, we carry out stylistic segmentation of a well-known poem, The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot, which is traditionally analyzed in terms of numerous voices which appear throughout the text. Our method, adapted from work in topic segmentation and plagiarism detection, p...

We propose that textual ‘style’ should be best defined as ‘non-denotational meaning’, i.e., those aspects of a text’s meaning that are mostly independent of what the text refers to in the world. To make this more concrete, we describe a linguistically well-motivated framework for computational stylistic analysis based on Systemic Functional Linguistics. This theory views a text as a realisation...

the afsaneh by nima yushij and gharib –un-ala - khalij by badr shaker are among poetic works which show many similarities , in spite of differences which give them their identity. these similarities indicate that these two works follow the same style and internal structure. the authors of this article try to compare the stylistic features of these two works and identify their similarities and s...

This article is devoted to the study of parenthetical constructions and structures in Chinese language fiction, based on material novel “Tired being Born Dying” by Mo Yan (《生死疲劳》莫言，2005) as a problem modern semantic-syntactic functional-stylistic phenomena, which, representing localized fragments speech part main utterance, emphasize nonlinearity linguistic thinking act an artistic means expres...

Instructional texts have been the object of many studies recently, motivated by the increased need to produce manuals (especially multilingual manuals) coupled with the cost of translators and technical writers. Because these studies concentrate on aspects other than the linguistic realisation of instructions – for example, the integration of text and graphics – they all generate a sequence of ...

The study of comparative stylistics attempts to catalogue and explain the differences in style between languages. We describe a formal model of comparative syntactic stylistics that could be implemented in a machine translation system, enabling the system to make a more informed decision about possible translation choices and their potential stylistic effects. 1 Stylistic adequacy of translatio...
