Stylochronometry: Stylistic Development, Sequence of Composition, and Relative Dating
C. Stamou · Literary and Linguistic Computing · 2007
This article examines representative successful and unsuccessful applications of stylochronometric approaches of the last sixty years in a thematic fashion, aiming to present in a concise manner, although not exhaustive, modern approaches. Differences concerned with adopted methodologies, stylistic markers, and text size render any comparisons among the studies difficult. Nevertheless, common problems may be traced, whereas groups of different stylistic marker types of potential use for applications concerned with stylistic change in time are identifiable.
