layered stylistics is a sub-branch of stylistics. In stylistics, considering the situational context as macro-layer, researchers break down text into strata and study style by examining identifying prominent or frequent features. This type can be considered most complete accurate methods in stylisitcs. Due to large number manuscripts obtained from Hossein Kharazmi’s Divan, authors use stylistic...

We are developing stylistic grammars to provide the basis for a French and English stylistic parser. Our stylistic grammar is a branching stratificational model, built upon a foundation dealing with lexical, syntactic, and semantic stylistic realizations. Its central level uses a vocabulary of constituent stylistic elements common to both English and French, while the top level correlates styli...

The most famous of these tasks is perhaps authorship attribution (Stamatatos et al., 2001), which uses statistical variations in word choice to select the most likely from a fixed set of potential authors. Though ap...
