Computational Stylistics in Poetry, Prose, and Drama pp 153–⁠178

Abstract

The use of a word in a specific sociocultural environment makes it a marker of that context and of the corresponding typical speech role. Is it possible to create an automatic detector of the poet’s role in a text? The Russian poeticisms discussed in this chapter constitute a layer of vocabulary and phraseology that is optional for poetry but indispensable for authors who position themselves as poets and try to make their texts sound as poetry-like as possible. In Russian culture, this stratum is mainly used in common poetic discourse, the popular tradition of naive versification. The technology for poeticism detection implemented in the Russian Live Stylistic Dictionary and described in this chapter opens up possibilities for the essential stylistic differentiation of poems and the preliminary assessment of their aesthetic quality.
