Competition between two kinds of correlations in literary texts.

چکیده
A theory of additive Markov chains with long-range memory is used to describe the correlation properties of coarse-grained literary texts. The complex structure of the correlations in the texts is revealed. Anti-persistent correlations at small distances, L approximately < 300, and persistent ones at L approximately > 300 define this non-trivial structure. For some concrete examples of literary texts, the memory functions are obtained and their power-law behavior at long distances is disclosed. This property is shown to be a cause of self-similarity of texts with respect to the decimation procedure.

متن کاملLSP Translation and Creativity
Specialised or LSP translation is often compared unfavourably with literary translation in terms of the creative input required from the translator to produce a „good‟ translation.
