Over recent years, the use of corpora in stylistic analysis has grown in popularity. However, questions still remain over the remit of corpus stylistics, its distinction from corpus linguistics generally and its capacity to explain complex stylistic effects. This article argues in favour of an integrated corpus stylistics; that is, an approach to corpus stylistics that integrates it with other ...

ness, concreteness, staticness, or dynamism. The other grammar-based approach to assessing stylistic goals was implemented by Ryan et al. (1992). The stylistic goals of this grammar (with settings in brackets) are as follows: emphasis (emphatic, neutral, at); clarity (clear, neutral, obscure); and dynamism (dynamic, neutral, static). In this grammar, the basis for evaluating these goals was sem...

We adapt the popular LDA topic model (Blei et al., 2003) to the representation of stylistic lexical information, evaluating our model on the basis of human-interpretability at the word and text level. We show, in particular, that this model can be applied to the task of inducing stylistic lexicons, and that a multi-dimensional approach is warranted given the correlations among stylistic dimensi...

Often, texts that have been written collaboratively do not \speak with a single voice." Eliminating stylistic incongruity, a di cult undertaking for both collaborative and singular writers, is the desired function of a software tool. This thesis describes the rst cycle of an iterative software development process towards meeting this goal. The user requirements are analyzed with respect to a mo...

Multiple versions of a document may need to be produced for diierent purposes and so may require quite diierent stylistic structures. This paper describes how we are building stylistic control into both natural language parsers (Pundit) and generators (Pen-man) to handle variations in hospital patient educational materials. Stylistic knowledge is formally represented in terms of a multi-level s...

We are developing stylistic grammars to provide the basis for a French and English stylistic parser. Our stylistic grammar is a branching stratificational model, built upon a foundation dealing with lexical, syntactic, and semantic stylistic realizations. Its central level uses a vocabulary of constituent stylistic elements common to both English and French, while the top level correlates styli...
