Lost in Text: A Cross-Genre Analysis of Linguistic Phenomena within Text

Moving from the assumption that formal, rather than content features, can be used to detect differences and similarities among textual genres and registers, this paper presents a new approach to linguistic profiling – a well-established methodological framework to study language variation – which is...
