Reflections on Computational Stylistics

Computational Stylistics deals with the study of patterns formed in particular texts, authors, genres, periods via computational methods. The main notions which drive the functions of this field of study consist of "What it(the text) says" and "how it says it".

In analyzing idiosyncratic uses of language, an author's styles are studied and distinguished from another. Thus, the mode of the context can also be explained after the patterns have been detected whether the text suggest positive or negative sentiment.

The field of this study has become more influential since the production of various genres and kinds of writings are published day to day. Furthermore, the styles of writing from various widely influenced authors have produced further research on literary works through the study of grammar, semantics, and phonological properties.

A website with full interpretations of Qur'anic studies from http://corpus.quran.com/. The website is an annotated linguistic resource which shows the Arabic grammar, syntax and morphology for each word in the Holy Quran. The corpus provides three levels of analysis: morphological annotation, a syntactic treebank and a semantic ontology.
