Cross-Language Stylometry
Picasso’s Writings in Spanish and French
Abstract For multilingual corpora—and in this particular case for the Spanish and French writings of Pablo Picasso—we do not have an acceptable method for quantitative literary analyses. This paper discusses the existing possibilities to solve the problem of cross-language stylometry by comparing the results of single-language stylometric methods but does not present a new method. Further on, the hypothesis that Picasso’s writings and poetry are characterized by a unique style is tested with a Spanish and French corpus, focusing on both the semantic and syntactic similarities and differences. In comparison to contemporary writers, the difference and distinctiveness can be shown by cross-language analyses.
Keywords: Picasso, stylometry, part-of-speech, Romance literature
