In this article we propose a stylistic analysis of Solomon Marcus’ publicistics, gathered in six volumes, aiming to uncover some of his quantitative and qualitative fingerprints. Moreover, we compare and cluster two distinct periods of time in his writing style: 22 years of communist regime (1967-1989) and 27 years of democracy (1990-2016). The distributional analysis of Marcus’ text reveals th...

Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) has been successful for document modeling. LDA extracts the latent topics across documents. Words in a document are generated by the same topic distribution. However, in real-world documents, the usage of words in different paragraphs is varied and accompanied with different writing styles. This study extends the LDA and copes with the variations of topic infor...

We present a computational system for morphological analysis and annotation of the Qur’an, for research and teaching purposes. The system facilitates a variety of queries on the Qur’anic text that make reference not only to the words but also to their linguistic attributes. The core of the system is a set of finite-state based rules which describe the morpho-phonological and morpho-syntactic ph...

Content-based approaches to detecting mobile spam to date have focused mainly on analyzing the topical aspect of a SMS message (what it is about) but not on the stylistic aspect (how it is written). In this paper, as a preliminary step, we investigate the utility of commonly used stylistic features based on shallow linguistic analysis for learning mobile spam filters. Experimental results show ...

In this paper we report on initial research we have conducted on a computational theory of prose style. Our theory speaks to the following major points: 1. Where in the generation process style is taken into account. 2. How a particular prose style is represented; what "stylistic rules" look like; 3. What modifications to a generation algor i thm are needed; what the deci~'on is that evaluates ...

Despite a general consensus that dimensional models are superior to the categorical representations of personality disorders in DSM-IV, proposals for how to depict personality pathology dimensions vary substantially. One important question involves how to separate clinical severity from the style of expression through which personality pathology manifests. This study empirically distinguished s...

A relationship among language, gender, and discourse genre has previously been observed in informal, spoken interaction and formal, written texts. This study investigates the language/gender/genre relationship in weblogs, a popular new mode of computer-mediated communication (CMC). Taking as the dependent variables stylistic features identified in machine learning research and popularized in a ...

We suggest an information-theoretic approach for measuring stylistic coordination in dialogues. The proposed measure has a simple predictive interpretation and can account for various confounding factors through proper conditioning. We revisit some of the previous studies that reported strong signatures of stylistic accommodation, and find that a significant part of the observed coordination ca...
