青春气息:文学体裁中的感觉风格探索

Smells like Teen Spirit: An Exploration of Sensorial Style in Literary Genres

University of Iowa(爱荷华大学)

Osama Khalid, Padmini Srinivasan

摘要:

通过心理学、神经科学和感觉语言学的大量研究,人们已经充分认识到感官知觉和语言是相互联系的。在这样丰富的语境中,我们要问,感觉语言在写作中的使用是否是语言风格的一部分?从文体计量学研究的角度来看,这个问题很重要,因为文体计量学研究已经探索了丰富的语言特征,但对与感官语言相关的特征关注不够。以此为目标,我们从几个角度探讨了词、小说、诗集中的感觉语言和感觉风格。例如,我们发现,个人使用感官语言并不是一种随机现象,很可能涉及到选择。此外,感觉风格通常是稳定的,随着时间的推移-变化是非常小的。此外,风格可以从仅仅几百个含有感官术语的句子中提取出来。我们还确定了每种类型中的代表性和独特性。例如,我们观察到小说集中前6个代表性特征中的4个涉及使用嗅觉语言的个体,而我们期望他们使用非嗅觉语言。

英文摘要:

It is well recognized that sensory perceptions and language have interconnections through numerous studies in psychology, neuroscience, and sensorial linguistics. Set in this rich context we ask whether the use of sensorial language in writings is part of linguistic style? This question is important from the view of stylometrics research where a rich set of language features have been explored, but with insufficient attention given to features related to sensorial language. Taking this as the goal we explore several angles about sensorial language and style in collections of lyrics, novels, and poetry. We find, for example, that individual use of sensorial language is not a random phenomenon; choice is likely involved. Also, sensorial style is generally stable over time - the shifts are extremely small. Moreover, style can be extracted from just a few hundred sentences that have sensorial terms. We also identify representative and distinctive features within each genre. For example, we observe that 4 of the top 6 representative features in novels collection involved individuals using olfactory language where we expected them to use non-olfactory language.
