The Tesserae Project: intertextual analysis of Latin poetry
Tesserae is a web-based tool for automatically detecting allusions in Latin poetry.

In this article, we use the tool to examine allusions to Vergil’s Aeneid in the first book of Lucan’s Civil War. Approximate...
متن کاملIncrease of Complexity from Classical Greek to Latin Poetry
In this paper a method is developed to analyze the increase of complexity from classical Greek poetry to classical Latin poetry by mapping large samples of poems onto a symbolic time series. This mapping setup intends to characterize the regular succession of rhythms, that is, the patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables in a verse. Using techniques from information theory; more precisely,...
متن کاملSome Geometric Properties of Slovak Poetry
The article is focused on the analysis of the frequency structure of texts. Specifically, a geometric characterization of the rank-frequency sequence, which is determined by relationships among the highest word frequency, a number of particular word forms in a text, and the so-called h-point, is analysed. We observe that the geometric characterization of the rank-frequency sequence correlates s...

Whereas lab researchers design an experiment around a choice, comparable corpus research implies the inference of counterfactual alternates. This non-trivial requirement leads ...

Prosodie relations in prose, poetry and music are discussed with an emphasis on durational properties. In order to gain a deeper understanding of speech prosody, we are presently engaged in a comparison of the timing relations in such activities as the reading of poetry and music performance, where there usually is a strong and obvious rhythmic patteming of the produced sound sequences. Also th...
