The field of computer applications is becoming extensive, and the researcher can take advantage of the literary use of computers. Article lists the wide variety of tasks the computer tackles concerning literature and linguistics. (RK)

After presenting various problems related to the lexicon in a linguistic theory, the author suggests a procedure for overcoming the problems. (MF)

Article presents a picture of an increasing growth in the use of computers in the study of Greek and Latin literature. (Author)

Discusses papers delivered at the third triennial congress of the Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquee held in Copenhagen. Several papers dealt with current work using computers for language analysis and processing. (Author/RK)

Surveys various aspects of the development of computational techniques to study Greek and Latin. (MB)

It is hoped that in its role as a conversational programming language for the layman who wants to learn about text analysis, SCAN will fill a gap in the range of available programming tools. (MB)

Presents a model of the structure of logic considered necessary for computer processing of metaphorical language. Formally states and diagrams the algorithm for metaphors, isolating domain distance, predicate inequality, and hyperbole as particularly important factors. Distinguishes explanatory literal analogies from expressive metaphors,…

The EYEBALL information system is designed for students of literature, with special applications to literary style, criticism, and the history of ideas. (Authors)

Computational linguistics, as linguistics in general, is the study of human behavior. (MF)

This work represents an effort to develop empirical algorithms useful for measuring alliteration. The resulting rankings compare not unfavorable with an intuitive ranking. (Author)

The nature of computational linguistics, and formulation of problems in literary analysis to which this approach can be applied, are considered. A review of current work in this field and an illustration of how this work might be used in an analysis of Shakespeare's writing are presented. (RW)

A computer program for measuring the complexity of syntactic structures in different levels of graded reading materials and in children's oral and written language is presented. (RW)

The use of the computer to establish a set of consistent terms when translating legal and technical texts in Swedish, Finnish and English is discussed. (RW)

Applies 51 stylometric computer tests of Shakespeare play authorship and 14 of play authorship, developed by the Shakespeare Clinic, to 37 "true Shakespeares," 27 plays of the Shakespeare Apocrypha, and to several poems of unknown authorship. Finds that no claimant, and none of the apocryphal plays or poems, matched Shakespeare. (DSK)

Responds critically to Ward Elliott and Robert Valenza's computerized stylometric analyses of Shakespeare plays and purported Shakespearean materials. Argues that the Elliott-Valenza tests are deeply flawed, both in their design and execution. Claims that inconvenient data were ignored, control samples not identified, and unwarranted assumptions…
