Abstract:
Computational linguistics can be used to uncover mysteries in text which are
not always obvious to visual inspection. For example, the computer analysis of
writing style can show who might be the true author of a text in cases of
disputed authorship or suspected plagiarism. The theoretical background to
authorship attribution is presented in a step by step manner, and
comprehensive reviews of the field are given in two specialist areas, the
writings of William Shakespeare and his contemporaries, and the various
writing styles seen in religious texts. The final chapter looks at the
progress computers have made in the decipherment of lost languages. This book
is written for students and researchers of general linguistics, computational
and corpus linguistics, and computer forensics. It will inspire future
researchers to study these topics for themselves, and gives sufficient details
of the methods and resources to get them started.
Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics
