STYLISTIC ANALYSIS.
Abstract
The report describes current research associated with the computer-based stylistic analysis project. Work directed toward the complete automation of thesaurus construction for the VIA (content analysis) program is reported in some detail; the focus of this work has been upon comparative VIA runs using Webster's Dictionary of Synonyms, Roget's International Thesaurus, and Roget's University Thesaurus. As a result of these runs, conclusions are drawn regarding preferable sources for the computer thesaurus as well as regarding some technical aspects of VIA's operation. The power of MAPTEXT for quickly revealing stylistic patterns to the information analyst or intelligence officer is illustrated. (Author)
