Jak badać indywidualny styl?
Idea stylistycznego odcisku palca
Frekwencje bardzo częstych słów (się, w, na, ...)
Nie sposób ich podrobić, trudno uciec od własnej dystrybucji słów funkcyjnych
Tajemnicze frekwencje...
‘It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.’
(J. Austen, Pride and Prejudice)
“the” = 4.25%“in” = 3.45%“of” = 1.81% …
Kim był Gall Anonim?
Hipoteza francuska (“Gall”) z XVI w.
Hipoteza węgierska z XIX w.

Atrybucja autorska
Distant reading
Kanon powieści realistycznej: ok. 50 pozycji
Wnioski na temat realizmu ograniczone do nich
Tymczasem: wiemy, że opublikowano ponad 20,000 powieści
Czego możemy się dowiedzieć w dużej skali?
Problem skali, problem zespołu
Jak zebrać korpus 20,000 powieści?
Jak zebrać 15 różnych korpusów? (grecki, włoski, francuski, polski, ...)
Rola badań zespołowych...
… przy czym trzeba by mieć spory zespół!

Cel Akcji
Grounded in the Distant Reading paradigm (i.e. using computational methods of analysis for large collections of literary texts), the Action will create a shared theoretical and practical framework to enable innovative, sophisticated, data-driven, computational methods of literary text analysis across at least 10 European languages.

What is COST? 37 countries and
beyond
~300 COST Actions
Bottom-up
Open
Leverage of R&D funds
Founded in 1971
European framework for
cooperation in S&T

COST aims to:
Connect “pockets of excellence“ in S&T operating from diverse
locations in Europe
Encourage and enable researchers from less research-
intensive countries to get more involved in all COST activities
Counterbalance research communities unequal access to
knowledge infrastructures, funding and resources distribution
COST is co-funded in two H2020 work programmes:
Societal Challenge 6 “Europe in a changing world – inclusive, innovative
and reflective Societies”
