Abstract:

Authorship analysis is the process of determining who produced a
questioned text by language analysis. Although there has been
significant success in the performance of computational methods to
solve this problem in recent years, these are often methods that are
not amenable to interpretation. Authorship analysis is in all effects
an area of computer science with very little linguistics or cognitive
science. This Element introduces a Theory of Linguistic Individuality
that, starting from basic notions of cognitive linguistics,
establishes a formal framework for the mathematical modelling of
language processing that is then applied to three computational
experiments, including using the likelihood ratio framework. The
results propose new avenues of research and a change of perspective in
the way authorship analysis is currently carried out.
