SUMMARY:Pull Out All The Stops: Textual Analysis via Punctuation Sequences (Mason Porter\, UCLA)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Whether enjoying the lucid prose of a favorite author or\nslogging through some other writer’s cumbersome\, heavy-set prattle (full\nof parentheses\, em-dashes\, compound adjectives\, and Oxford commas)\,\nreaders will notice stylistic signatures not only in word choice and\ngrammar\, but also in punctuation itself. Indeed\, visual sequences of\npunctuation from different authors produce marvelously different (and\nvisually striking) sequences. Punctuation is a largely overlooked\nstylistic feature in “stylometry”\, the quantitative analysis of written\ntext. In this paper\, we examine punctuation sequences in a corpus of\nliterary documents and ask the following questions: Are the properties of\nsuch sequences a distinctive feature of different authors? Is it possible\nto distinguish literary genres based on their punctuation sequences? Do\nthe punctuation styles of authors evolve over time? Are we on to something\ninteresting in trying to do stylometry without words\, or are we full of\nsound and fury (signifying nothing)? \nFor more information\, see our recent preprint (joint work with Alexandra\nDarmon\, Marya Bazzi\, and Sam Howison):\nhttps://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/2rzsg
