Abstract Genre recognition is a critical facet of text comprehension and text classification. In three experiments, we assessed the minimum number of words in a sentence needed for genre recognition to occur, the distribution of genres across text, and the relationship between reading ability and genre recognition. We also propose and demonstrate a computational model for genre recognition. Usi...

We hypothesized that the attributes of a document’s genre determine a document’s ability to be identified uniquely.

In this pilot study, we exposed fifteen participants to a set of paper and digital documents, each converted into two surrogates: one based on form, in which the text was masked leaving only t...

Every text has at least one topic and at least one genre. Evidence for a text’s topic and genre comes, in part, from its lexical and syntactic features—features used in both Automatic Topic Classification and Automatic Genre Classification (AGC). Because an ideal AGC system should be stable in the face of changes in topic distribution, we assess five previously published AGC methods with respec...
