A geração computacional do que pode ser concebido e reconhecido como "poesia verbal" é explorada, há muitas décadas, em línguas naturais. Mas apenas projetos recentemente desenvolvidos possuem aplicação intensiva da computação, considerando muitos níveis de organização, linguísticos paralinguísticos, fonológicos, rítmicos, sintáticos, semânticos, até pragmáticos. O apresentamos aqui um sistema ...

Computerized systems that provide feedback on the comprehensibility of technical prose should be based on what is known scientifically about what makes prose difficult to understand. The experimental psycholinguistics literature was surveyed, and a set of rules for comprehensible technical prose was derived. The basic criteria for selection of the literature and the rules was that the rules sho...

In this paper we build on earlier observations and theory regarding word length frequency and sequential distribution to develop a mathematical characterization of some of the language features distinguishing isometrically lineated text from unlineated text, in other words the features distinguishing isometrical verse from prose. It is shown that the frequency of Qn of n syllables making comple...

The percentage of subjects recalling each unit in a list or prose passage is considered as a dependent measure. When the same units are recalled in different tasks, processing is assumed to be the same; when different units are recalled, processing is assumed to be different. Two collections of memory tasks are presented, one for lists and one for prose. The relations found in these two collect...

this article answers an old controversial question which asks whether poetry is better or prose. this question has been raised since such subjects as grammar, oratory, rhetoric, etc. appeared. no definite resolution has yet been reached. generally speaking authors, critics, and thinkers have divided among themselves into two groups. the first group defends verse or poetry. the second group defe...

thematic, and distorted with the passage of time. That is, at long intervals, there is less recall of passage-specific information and more recall from the subjects' general knowledge of the topic. The present study deals with constructive remembering over time. We attempt to understand prose retention in terms that are compatible with Bartlett's conception of remembering. One problem for a con...
