<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Corpora colleagues, I have been mapping texts
on the phonological level to investigate the closeness of the two sound
pictures. I took different languages. I also took different poets and prose
writers in the same language, mostly Russian and English. I wonder if you
read my articles? I have measured the Eucleadian distances between two texts as
the two sound chains of 30000 phonemes. I wonder how you compare the poetic
texts? I have compared some 20 Russian poets and 3 English poets. This is
why, I am very much interested in the work of those who measure distances
between languages or between writers and poets. Do you know many scholars who
work in the same direction? Looking forward to hearing from you soon to <A
