Body Language in Classic British Fiction: Words, <i>n</i>-grams, and topics Body Language in Classic British Fiction: Words, <i>n</i>-grams, and topics Tomoji, Tabata Tomoji, Tabata 企画セッション講演2-3 This pilot study takes a stylometric approach to investigate “body language” in classic British fiction. The specific research questions are how body-part words are distributed across registers, whether frequency patterns of body language make it possible to classify texts into meaningful sets, as well as what stylistic functions body-part expressions lend themselves to in fiction. To answer the questions, stylometric analysis is carried out in conjunction with topic modelling and qualitative interpretation of stylistics effects by paying close attention to individual words, n-grams, and topics.
