In this paper we propose a new HMM-based framework for the exploration of realtime gesture-to-gesture mapping strategies. This framework enables the realtime HMM-based recognition of a given gesture sequence from a subset of its dimensions, the covariancebased mapping of the gesture stylistics from this subset onto the remaining dimensions and the realtime synthesis of the remaining dimensions ...

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...

The growing number of recent publications on pedagogical stylistics indicates that this area is still of much interest to those who invest in the integration of language and literature. However, evidencebased assessments of pedagogical stylistics are still few and depend mostly on teachers’ intuitions. The present study contributes towards filling this gap by examining 28 reflective accounts pr...

This study explores the textual characteristics, more precisely the quantity and diversity of nouns, of Japanese prime ministers' Diet addresses. In the field of stylistics, textual characteristics independent of the content have been examined with the aim on detecting the authors, genres, and chronological variations of texts. This study focuses instead on textual characteristics related to th...

This software paper describes ‘Stylometry with R’ (stylo), a flexible R package for the highlevel analysis of writing style in stylometry. Stylometry (computational stylistics) is concerned with the quantitative study of writing style, e.g. authorship verification, an application which has considerable potential in forensic contexts, as well as historical research. In this paper we introduce th...

This paper argues that corpus stylistics can contribute methodologies and concepts to support the investigation of character information in fiction. Focusing on Charles Dickens, the paper looks at lexicogrammatical patterns as well as places in the literary text. It suggests that clusters, i.e. repeated sequences of words, and suspensions, i.e. interruptions of charactersÿ speech by the narrato...

Forensic linguistics provides answers to four categories of inquiry in investigative and legal settings: (i) identification of author, language, or speaker; (ii) intertextuality, or the relationship between texts; (iii) text-typing or classification of text types such as threats, suicide notes, or predatory chat; and (iv) linguistic profiling to assess the author’s dialect, native language, age...
