Tourism English belongs to the English for Specific Purpose (ESP) and it has its own stylistic features. This paper aims at analyzing the stylistic features of tourism English. Firstly, a large amount of authentic materials are collected from official tourism websites of Britain and the U.S., and then a corpus named Tourism English Corpus (TEC) is compiled. Freiburg-LOB Corpus of British Englis...

This article studies the relevance of an historical lexical analysis to the stylistic description of Modern Hebrew texts. The examination of the lexical make-up of two distinct genres – administrative language and folksong – reveals a correlation between the social functions of the corpora and their formal characteristics. The administrative corpus reflects the lexical structure of standard Mod...

Text classification is an important and challenging research domain. In this paper, identifying historical period and ethnic origin of documents using stylistic feature sets is investigated. The application domain is Jewish Law articles written in Hebrew-Aramaic. Such documents present various interesting problems for stylistic classification. Firstly, these documents include words from both la...

This brief paper gives an example of statistical stylistic experimentation and argues for more informed measures of variation and choice and more informed measures of readership analysis to be able to posit dimensions of textual variation usefully.

We describe a web-based system to support groups in elaborating participatory budgets. Rather than using physical meetings with voting mechanisms, we promote virtual meetings with explicit preference elicitation, guided negotiations and, only if consensus is not reached, vot-

The contribution of sexual selection to diversification remains poorly understood after decades of research. This may be in part because studies have focused predominantly on the strength of sexual selection, which offers an incomplete view of selection regimes. By contrast, students of natural selection focus on environmental differences that help compare selection regimes across populations. ...

Multicriteria conflict arises in pairwise comparisons, where each alternative outperforms the other one on some criterion, which imposes a trade-off. Comparing two alternatives can be difficult if their respective advantages are of high magnitude (the attribute spread is large). In this paper, we investigate to which extent conflict in a comparison situation can lead decision makers to express ...

In some MCDM techniques Ð most notably in Outranking Methods Ð the result of the comparison of a finite set of alternatives according to several criteria is summarised using a fuzzy preference relation. This fuzzy relation does not, in general, possess "nice properties" such as transitivity or completeness and elaborating a recommendation on the basis of such information is not an obvious task....
