Automatic Segmentation of Texts based on Stylistic Features

Abstract

We report on an automatic method and program for text structure discovery and subsequent segmentation of texts. The method, previously presented and herein enhanced, is based on stylistic features. The segmentation was applied to two self-biographic works; the results are compared and conclusions are derived. The method can be used as a tool in text generation, as a tool in editorial offices, and in literary analysis.
