The past decade has witnessed an explosion of studies comparing speech rhythm across various language varieties, many using the Pairwise Variability Index (PVI, ‎[6]). This renewal of interest in the cross-linguistic typology of prosodic rhythm has been accompanied by cautions that common acoustic measures of rhythm are highly variable between speakers (‎[5]). This paper introduces evidence tha...

A popular interest in Shakespeare has been matched in recent years by an increasing number of computer-assisted analyses of the plays. Although not without their critics, corpus stylistic studies have offered scope and reliability in the study of literary texts, particularly through key word analyses. In this paper, I show how Wmatrix, a web-based corpus processing environment (Rayson, 2003, 20...

As a functional type of writing style, English for science and technology is developed on the basis of the General English. This paper is to analyze the stylistic features of English for science and technology— The Science of Mechanics in four aspects: graphlogical level, lexical level, and syntactical/grammatical level.

Introduction Early researchers in authorship attribution used a variety of statistical methods to identify stylistic discriminators – characteristics which remain approximately invariant within the works of a given author but which tend to vary from author to author (Holmes 1998, McEnery & Oakes 2000). In recent years machine learning methods have been applied to authorship attribution. A few e...

In this paper we are going to present a method capable of visualizing and automatically determining similarity between stylistic genres in Swedish and English text documents. The method has also been implemented and tested with good results. It is based on linguistic methods and uses only the raw word content of documents, meaning that it requires no metatags or other features set by the author...

Capturing a style of a particular piece or a composer is not an easy task. Several attempts to use machine learning methods to create models of style have appeared in the literature. These models do not provide an intentional description of some musical theory but rather use statistical techniques to capture regularities that are typical of certain music experience. A standard procedure in this...

If sophisticated natural language systems are to handle the full range of communication, then they must be able to account for the nuances and subtleties of linguistic style. A computational treatment of style would be highly advantageous to natural language understanding and generation, with particular relevance to intelligent computer-assisted language instruction and machine translation. The...

Most text analysis and retrieval work to date has focused on determining the topic of a text, what it is about. However, a text also contains much useful information in its style, or how it is written. This includes information about its author, its purpose, feelings it is meant to evoke, and more.
