The article is devoted to the structural, lexical and stylistic peculiarities of P.B.Shelly’s “Cloud” and its Ukrainian translation given by V.Mysyk. Specific devices used by the translator are scrutinized.

Sketch recognition systems usually recognize strokes either as stylistic gestures or geometric shapes. Both techniques have their advantages. This paper presents a method for integrating gesture-based and geometric recognition techniques, significantly outperforming either technique on its own.

Computational processes with the ability to evaluate of the style of text have a variety of applications, including the detection of plagiarism, forensic linguistics, and authorship determination. This research is motivated by the need to help users of collaborative writing environments maintain a consistent style in their documents. While the matter of whether the style of a text is “correct” ...

This paper may not be published elsewhere in any form (including e-mail lists and electronic bulleting boards) without the authors' express permission. To test the proposition that a high level of recurring cohesion and a high level of stylistic diversity can combine for successful team performance, this study constructs a...

Although the field of sociolinguistics has witnessed a growing interest in the sociophonetic aspects of segmental and intonational variation, few studies have examined variation in voice quality. This paper addresses the gap by investigating the stylistic use of falsetto phonation. Focusing on the speech of Heath, a speaker exhibiting considerable cross-situational variation, I show that when a...

S ome forty years ago, Mosteller and Wallace suggested in their influential work on the Federalist Papers that a small number of the most frequent words in a language ('function words') could usefully serve as indicators of authorial style. The decades since have seen this work taken up in many ways including both the use of new analysis techniques (discriminant analysis, PCA, neural networks, ...

A qualitative study to investigate the development of style in performance with a highly constrained musical instrument is described. A new one-button instrument was designed, with which several musicians were each asked to practice and develop a solo performance. Observations of trends in attributes of these performances are detailed in relation to participants’ statements in structured interv...

In this paper we present some preliminary results on the generation of word embeddings for the Italian language. We compare two popular word representation models, word2vec and GloVe, and train them on two datasets with different stylistic properties. We test the generated word embeddings on a word analogy test derived from the one originally proposed for word2vec, adapted to capture some of th...

The Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; Costa & McCrae, 1992b) has been criticized for the absence of validity scales designed to detect response distortion. Recently, validity scales were developed from the items of the NEO-PI-R (Schinka, Kinder, & Kremer, 1997) and several studies have used a variety of methods to test their use. However, it is controversial whether these scales are ...

This study explored patterns of consistency and change in maternal reminiscing style across conversations with different children in the same family. Twenty-three White, middle-class mothers engaged in separate memory conversations with their younger (M age = 40 months) and older (M age = 68 months) children. Mothers evidenced striking stylistic consistency. Analyses of bidirectional relations ...
