L'attribuzione di testi con metodi quantitativi:riconoscimento di testi gramsciani
This contribution takes account of some theoretical considerations and experimental results developed by a quite heterogeneous group of scientists while studying the problem of quantitative authorship attribution (stylometry) in a selection of newspaper articles written by Antonio Gramsci and his co-workers. Methodological and historical issues of stylometry are discussed, concentrating particularly on the relatively recent spread of methods based on very simple indicators with no syntactical meaning. Two methods for the recognition of authorship are then described and experimented on the Gramscian corpus, both based on a mathematical model of texts and the author/text relationship, and both using similarity distances. The first method compares the statistics for sequences of n characters (n-grams) inthe texts, while the second is based on the very deep concept of entropy of a symbolic sequenceand on some techniques for data compression.
