The description of textual and stylistic features has so far been largely neglected in the empirical study of conversational speech. In this paper we want to make a couple of strong initial points towards the use textual meaning and stylistic features in language engineering: First of all we want to show that there are other besides the traditional features in spontaneous speech that are worth ...

In this paper we propose a set of stylistic markers for automatically attributing authorship to micro-blogging messages. The proposed markers include highly personal and idiosyncratic editing options, such as ‘emoticons’, interjections, punctuation, abbreviations and other low-level features. We evaluate the ability of these features to help discriminate the authorship of Twitter messages among...

Stylistic analysis and rhetorical theory are used in this study to inform our understanding of impediments to the successful uptake of a new medical idea.

It is tailored towards online genres, specifically Twitter, through the inclusion of dictionaries developed to capture vocabulary use...

This paper describes work on the detection of anomalous material in text. We show several variants of an automatic technique for identifying an 'unusual' segment within a document, and consider texts which are unusual because of author, genre [Biber, 1998], topic or emotional tone. We evaluate the technique using many experiments over large document collections, created to contain randomly inse...

The aim of this paper is to shed new light on the behaviour of 5 phonotactic phenomena in French, which have been shown to be rather sensitive to regional and/or stylistic variation: schwa deletion at the initial of polysyllabic words and in monosyllabic grammatical words, liaison, deletion of final postobstruent /l/ and /R/ and of /l/ in the 3 personal clitic subject pronoun ‘il’.
