Digital Stylistics in Romance Studies and Beyond

Digital Stylistics is an area of research at the intersection of Literary Studies, Linguistics, Digital Humanities, and Computational Literary Studies. It is concerned with the computational and statistical analysis of literary style and of style in language use. This volume brings together research in Digital Stylistics from Romance Studies and beyond, contributing to new methods and applications in different language contexts and literatures. All the research results are based on the empirical, computational analysis of literary corpora chosen to analyze major genres or subgenres of poetry, drama, and prose from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century.

Robert Hesselbach studied Romance and English/American Studies at the Universities of Würzburg, Austin/TX (USA) and Munich. He earned his PhD in Romance linguistics (University of Würzburg, Germany) with a thesis on syntactic complexity (of Spanish and French). He works as a researcher/lecturer at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany), where he is currently researching the grammar of Spanish and French, political social media discourse, and the presence of Romance regional and/or minority languages in the digital space.

José Calvo Tello works as a librarian and in research and development at the Göttingen State and University Library. He obtained his doctorate from the University of Würzburg (Germany) with the title: The Novel in the Spanish Silver Age: A Digital Analysis of Genre Using Machine Learning (transcript, 2021). His research focuses on the application and development of computational and statistical methods, such as machine learning, applied to Romance literature and library records.

Ulrike Henny-Krahmer is junior professor for Digital Humanities at the University of Rostock. She wrote her Ph.D. thesis on "Genre Analysis and Corpus Design: Nineteenth-Century Spanish-American Novels (1830-1910)" at the University of Würzburg and has a background in Latin American Studies, which she studied at the universities of Cologne and Lisbon. Her research focuses on digital scholarly editing, digital text analysis, and evaluation and sustainability of Digital Humanities research output.

Christof Schöch is Professor of Digital Humanities at the University of Trier, Germany, and Co-Director of the Trier Center for Digital Humanities. He works in the area of Computational Literary Studies, with a focus on analyses of French literature, and pleads for Open Science in the Humanities.

Daniel Schlör studied Computer Science at the University of Würzburg and has been a research assistant at the Department of Computer Philology at the University of Würzburg working in the Computational Literary Genre Stylistics (CLiGS) project. He finished his PhD thesis in Computer Science and is currently working as a researcher for the Data Science Chair at the University of Würzburg.
