[Corpora-List] PS:minimal changes in a paragraph (based on a corpus it appeared) ... (2nd attempt (after first one was deleted))

[Bill Louw]

Thank you Yorick. I think we have reached the stage where different approaches will be found to be cross-verificatory. Markovian methods have a longer tradition too . Bill

These researchers did a very good job indeed of generating text approximating more and more closely to sample paragraphs (e.g. Shakespeare).

Albretch,
 
It may be of interest to you and to members of the list that the method I proposed works in other languages. Structural issues of argument are likely to be universal, as the article listed below demonstrates.

Say, you have a certain paragraph belonging to a text and relating to
the other paragraphs of that same text and to other ones of other
texts and you want to generate similar paragraphs.

How could you do that?
