Quantitative literary studies: beyond authorship attribution
Jan Rybicki

"Despite its more or less recent successes, quantitative research into literary questions is rarely accorded the same amount of interest and credibility that it enjoys in linguistics –with the possible single exception of authorship attribution. At the same time, linguistic computational tools are increasingly used not only in such a limited scope; in fact, counting linguistic features of literary texts combines well with distant reading in (literary) text classification by author, translator, genre or chronology. This talk will present a series of interesting case studies in the field in a variety of text corpora."
