To quantify the style markers of any writer is a laborious and erroneous task in close reading, while distant reading with the Voyant Summary tool presents stylometric features precisely. The current study employs the Voyant summary tool to analyse data through the lens of Stefan Sinclair and Geoffery Rockwell's Hermeneutica Theory (2016). The Voyant Summary tool performs text mining of Coelho's style markers; total words, unique words, vocabulary density, the average length of sentences and the most frequent words. Coelho's vocabulary density ranges from 0.075 to 0.263 words. Colhelo's average length of sentences ranges from 13 to 26.2 words per sentence. The dialogic writing style is evident with the word 'said'. Moreover, themes of love and life are the most repeated ones. To enhance the readability of his works, he refrains from archaic vocabulary. The Zahir shows the lowest vocabulary density, while Adultery reveals the highest vocabulary density.

“…There are various analyses of Romanian literary works Modoc & Gârdan, 2020). For Mihai Eminescu, previous work has focused on other types of features like phonic phenomena and word properties (Popescu et al, 2015) or different perspectives such as differentiation in style in the three phases of Mihai Eminescu's creation (Briciu, 2019).…”

Emotions play a central role in both writing and understanding literary works, and poetry is a genre rich in emotional content, vivid imagery and abstract language. This paper proposes a clustering-based approach to unsupervisedly mine emotional patterns in Mihai Eminescu's poetry. Lexicon-based emotion features are used for the clustering algorithm.Resulting clusters are assessed with regard to manually added characteristics of poems in the form of literary themes. There is a partial overlap between affective and thematic content, consistent with literary evaluations of the same works. Computational approaches have the advantage of being objective and replicable, with unsupervised techniques such as clustering representing a valuable tool in the exploration of literary works. Nonetheless, no specific emotional patterns, as determined by the proposed method, can be fully associated with particular literary themes.

The Character Network in Liviu Rebreanu’s Ion: A Quantitative Analysis of Dialogue

This study revisits what is widely considered “the first modern novel” in Romanian literature, Liviu Rebreanu’s Ion, from a network theory perspective. Isolating the dialogue and quantitatively analysing the interventions of every character and their interactions in the fictional world, it provides a blueprint for the exploration of social and personal dynamics between characters. In recent years, rural literature in Romania has undergone a recontextualization process. Following in the footsteps of these approaches, our research provides the first character network of Ion and outlines who talks, how much, and to whom. It also explores how differences in social class influence speaking time or the structure of the individual discourses, taking an in-depth look at the relationship between and roles of the two characters who talk most.
