Reading has been perceived as a dynamic transactional process wherein readers negotiate meaning with writers by virtue of their prior knowledge. The act of meaning construction is realized primarily through the exploration of intertextual links that connect various sources of texts the readers have composed or experienced. Readers utilize intertextuality as an inquiry tool to build their own pe...

We describe the course of a hackathon dedicated to the development of linguistic tools for Tibetan Buddhist studies. Over a period of five days, a group of seventeen scholars, scientists, and students developed and compared algorithms for intertextual alignment and text classification, along with some basic language tools, including a stemmer and word segmenter. keywords Tibetan; hackathon; ste...

In the 2001, Volume 8, Number 3, issue of the Journal of Quantitative Linguistics (pp. 213 – 231) M. M. Dominique and Cyril Labbé published a paper entitled “Inter-Textual Distance and Authorship Attribution. Corneille and Molière”. Dominique and Cyril Labbé (hereafter referred to as DCL) propose a new formula for the computation of dissimilarity between texts, as well as a distances scale. The...

It is the aim of the CULTOS project to provide researchers in intertextual studies with a collaborative multimedia platform for the authoring, management, search, exchange, and presentation of Intertextual Threads (ITTs), knowledge structures that interrelate and compare cultural artefacts. By means of the CULTOS platform, researchers will be able to create a world-wide collection of multimedia...

In this work, we employ quantitative methods from the realm of statistics and machine learning to develop novel methodologies for author attribution and textual analysis. In particular, we develop techniques and software suitable for applications to Classical study, and we illustrate the efficacy of our approach in several interesting open questions in the field. We apply our numerical analysis...

intertextuality, is based on this idea that there is no independent text, and the text borrow from each other, there is a close and double relationship between them. according to this theory, each text is the brainchild of past or contemporary texts; so that new text (current) is summary of the text or several texts (absent). the purpose of this article is intertextual research of the bible in ...

Intertextuality is the presence of one text contained within another. Hidden intertextuality is a problem for scientific publications. We propose a detection method combining calculation of intertextual distance and several classifications with the technique of the ”sliding window” (to pinpoint any duplicated excerpts). This method is tested using a group of texts extracted from the IEEE biblio...
