Abstract
The present paper aims to determine whether the Bengali book Londoner Naksa ebong France Bhraman ( Wondrous Capers at London and Travelling in France ) was written by the geologist Pramathanath Bose (P.N. Bose). To find it out, two well-established style markers often used in authorship attribution studies; namely, function words and punctuation marks, are used here. The result shows that possibly this book was penned by the geologist P.N. Bose. As a corollary, it may also be added that this approach may be used in future authorship attribution studies involving Bengali writings.
本论文旨在确定孟加拉语书籍《伦敦人Naksa ebong France Bhraman》(《伦敦的奇迹》和《在法国旅行》)是否由地质学家Pramathanath Bose(P.N.Bose)撰写。为了找到答案,作者归因研究中经常使用的两个公认的风格标记;即虚词和标点符号。结果表明,这本书可能是由地质学家P.N.Bose写的。作为推论,还可以补充说,这种方法可以用于未来涉及孟加拉语作品的作者归因研究。
