Pascal stylistics and reserved words

Fibonacci words in hyperbolic Pascal triangles

The hyperbolic Pascal triangle HPT 4,q (q ≥ 5) is a new mathematical construction, which is a geometrical generalization of Pascal’s arithmetical triangle. In the present study we show that a natural pattern of rows of HPT 4,5 is almost the same as the sequence consisting of every second term of the well-known Fibonacci words. Further, we give a generalization of the Fibonacci words using the h...

Generalized Pascal triangle for binomial coefficients of words

We introduce a generalization of Pascal triangle based on binomial coefficients of finite words. These coefficients count the number of times a word appears as a subsequence of another finite word. Similarly to the Sierpiński gasket that can be built as the limit set, for the Hausdorff distance, of a convergent sequence of normalized compact blocks extracted from Pascal triangle modulo 2, we de...

Stylistics: Corpus Approaches

Stylistics, which may be defined as the study of the language of literature, makes use of various tools of linguistic analysis. Corpus linguistics is opening up new vistas for the study of language, and there are interesting similarities in the approaches of stylistics and corpus linguistics. Stylistics is a field of empirical inquiry, in which the insights and techniques of linguistic theory a...

Towards an integrated corpus stylistics

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 ...
