20. Stylistic Analysis and Authorship Studies
Discusses the relationship between stylistic analysis and authorship studies in the field of digital humanities. It explains how stylistic analysis aims to uncover patterns in style that influence readers' perceptions, while authorship studies focus on determining the author of a particular text. The chapter also introduces computational stylistics, which uses computational methods to find patterns in language related to writing and reading processes. It provides an example of a study in computational stylistics and addresses theoretical and methodological challenges in both stylistic analysis and authorship attribution
