Th is paper explores the approach to the construction of literary tourism site from the perspective of authenticity which is a keyword in heritage tourism. Since MacCannell (1973, 1976) introduced the concept of authenticity into studies of tourism motivations and experiences in 1970s, the various notions of tourism authenticity can be summarized into four types of theories objective authentici...

In recent years, there has been growing interest in visualization methods for literary text analysis. While text mining and visualization tools have evolved into mainstream research methods in many fields (e.g. social sciences, machine learning), their application to literary studies still remains infrequent. In addition to technological challenges, the use of these tools requires a methodologi...

Most of the work dealing with automatic story production is based on a generic architecture for text generation; however, the resulting stories still lack a style that can be called literary. We believe that in order to generate automatically stories that could be compared with those by human authors, a specific methodology for fiction text generation should be defined. We also believe that it ...

Clichés, as trite expressions, are predominantly multiword expressions, but not all MWEs are clichés. We conduct a preliminary examination of the problem of determining how clichéd a text is, taken as a whole, by comparing it to a reference text with respect to the proportion of more-frequent n-grams, as measured in an external corpus. We find that more-frequent n-grams are over-represented in ...

We present various visualizations for the Text Re-use found among texts of a collection to support answering a broad palette of research questions in the humanities. When juxtaposing all texts of a corpus in form of tuples, we propose the Text Re-use Grid as a distant reading method that emphasizes text tuples with systematic or repetitive Text Re-use. The Text Re-use Browser provides a closer ...

We apply entropy agglomeration (EA), a recently introduced algorithm, to cluster the words of a literary text. EA is a greedy agglomerative procedure that minimizes projection entropy (PE), a function that can quantify the segmentedness of an element set. To apply it, the text is reduced to a feature allocation, a combinatorial object to represent the word occurences in the text’s paragraphs. T...

We present WordSeer, an exploratory analysis environment for literary text. Literature study is a cycle of reading, interpretation, exploration, and understanding. While there is now abundant technological support for reading and interpreting literary text in new ways through text-processing algorithms, the other parts of the cycle—exploration and understanding—have been relatively neglected. W...

oliver goldsmith’s literary reputation was boosted by the publication of his comedy, she stoops to conquer, or, the mistakes of a night. the frequent references to the events and literary works of the eighteenth century england have enriched the play as they attest the presence of profound meanings behind the characters’ live dialogues. this paper is an attempt to investigate the literary and s...

We propose a method for using neural networks to attribute quotes in literary texts. Since previous work has been unable to successfully solve this problem based on bag-of-words features, we study the issue of whether this is due to the limited expressiveness of such features. By re-framing the modeling of quotes and characters as based off of word vectors, we hope to demonstrate that individua...

We explored the notions of life and death as perceived and presented in a 15th century Croatian literary text, Slovo Mestra Polikarpa, in which master Polikarp, a well-learned man of medieval times, engages in a lengthy dialogue with Death itself. This contrast/debate is a rare piece of medieval literature, not only by its Old Croatian language, but also by the angular Glagolitic script in whic...
