Abstract

In the field of computational stylistics it is a widespread assumption that there exists a unique pattern of a person’s language use and this is a socalled authorial fingerprint (Baayen et al. 2002). Identifying the authorial fingerprint can become a base of using quantitative text similarity studies for authorship attribution. Although the metaphor of the “fingerprint” may give the false impression that this pattern can be read from the author’s texts in an objective way. The modelling of this “fingerprint” is in fact a creative digital humanities task which constructs a pattern that is based on a selection and combination of dozens of linguistic features that can be interpreted statistically and that can only be interpreted in comparison with other authorial texts. Considering the size of the corpora and the complexity of text characteristics and similarity calculations, the method cannot be done without the use of computer algorithms. There are already some softwares (e.g. R-Stylo, JGAAP, Websty) that apparently offer an accessible way to researchers for analyzing texts, (however these methods limit the process of searching for patterns), while on the other hand it is possible to implement the calculations using custom program codes. In our research we endeavour to find the most efficient measures in authorship attribution for Hungarian texts.
