An olfactory stimulus and a visual stimulus were employed in a context-dependent memory study using a prose passage as the to-be-remembered item. Ninety-five university students (aged 17-35 years) learned the passage of prose in the presence of one of the stimuli and were then asked to recall the passage with the original context either reinstated or not reinstated. The results revealed a signi...

This study compared eye movements during the reading of authentic prose and poetry with and without enjambment presented in their original layout and in a manipulated layout. We hypothesised that we would find differences in reading patterns on the basis of the layout in which the text was presented. We indeed found differences in reading pattern between prose and poetry, poetry with and withou...

This document describes solutions in Rascal to three language workbench challenges, based on the questionnaire language QL: code in prose, computed properties, and language extension.

Lessness is a prose piece by Samuel Beckett in which he used random permutation to order sentences. Like interactive artworks, the piece is experienced as a process that depends upon the participant’s attempts to comprehend and create meaning. Although Lessness is linear prose, its orderly disorder sets up a non-linear reading process in which contradictory perspectives are viewed simultaneousl...

The purpose of this synthesis is to deconstruct the medium of Marshall McLuhan’s prose as an anti-environment for the medium of traditional academic writing. By placing McLuhan’s own theory in dialogue with the founding principles of linguistic anthropology, I will argue that McLuhan’s authorial tactics—a subject of his long-term repudiation by the academic community on the whole—adhered to the...

Observers often remember a scene as containing information that was not presented but that would have likely been located just beyond the observed boundaries of the scene. This effect is called boundary extension (BE; e.g., Intraub & Richardson, 1989). Previous studies have observed BE in memory for visual and haptic stimuli, and the present experiments examined whether BE occurred in memory fo...

We investigate the maximal length of repeat as a function of the text length in ten English texts. The maximal length of repeat in the experimental data is greater than a power of the logarithm of the text length where the exponent is close to 2. This result indicates that English prose cannot be modeled by a finite-energy stochastic process, differently than we have previously assumed.

Literary works reference a variety of globally shared themes including well-known people, events, and time periods. It is particularly interesting to locate patterns that are either invariant across time or exhibit a characteristic change across time, as they could imply something important about society that those works record. This paper suggests the use of Google n-gram viewer as a fast prot...
