Quantitative Perspective on Stylistics
Description

This book explores the syntactic variation across various styles and genres in contemporary written Czech using quantitative methods. The research is based on the large, balanced corpus, SYN2020, which is part of the Czech National Corpus. The aim is to demonstrate the potential of corpus-based quantitative analysis as a complement to the qualitative methods that have traditionally dominated research in stylistics. Although the empirical focus is on Czech, the methodologies presented are intended to serve as a model for quantitative syntactic stylistics in other languages as well.
