The number of rhythmic features in the original text of I. Murdoch's "The Black Prince" and in its translation
Source publication
Analysis of the functional equivalence of an original text and its translation based on the achievement of rhythm equivalence is an extremely important task of modern linguistics. Moreover, the rhythm component is an integral part of functional equivalence that cannot be achieved without communication of rhythm figures of the text. To analyze rhyth...

The paper assesses and evaluates the performance of the ProseRhythmDetector (PRD) Text Rhythm Analysis Tool. The research is a case study of 50 English and 50 Russian fictional texts (approximately 88,000 words each) from the 19th to the 21st century. The paper assesses the PRD tool accuracy in detecting stylistic devices containing repetition in t...

... They look into the detection of anadiplosis, anaphora, polysyndeton 4.15, diacope, epanalepsis, epiphora, epizeuxis, and symploke. For anadiplosis, anaphora, epiphora, they reuse the algorithm from their previous paper [57], which is written in Russian. They do not report any performance metrics of their detection algorithm, as they are not using an annotated dataset. ...
... Table 17 shows which languages were considered in the different approaches. As Hromada [43] and Lagutina et al. [57] considered two languages, we counted them twice. ...
Rhetorical figures play a major role in our everyday communication as they make text more interesting, more memorable, or more persuasive. Therefore, it is important to computationally detect rhetorical figures to fully understand the meaning of a text. We provide a comprehensive overview of computational approaches to lesser-known rhetorical figures. We explore the linguistic and computational perspectives on rhetorical figures, emphasizing their significance for the domain of Natural Language Processing. We present different figures in detail, delving into datasets, definitions, rhetorical functions, and detection approaches. We identified challenges such as dataset scarcity, language limitations, and reliance on rule-based methods.
... The algorithms for searching anaphora, anadiplosis, and polysyndetons with a single conjunction and conjunctive adverbs are taken from our previous work [20]. In that paper there is also an algorithm for a polysyndeton with pair conjunctions, but due to producing fake results for some sentences it has been rewritten for the purpose of this paper. ...
The paper is devoted to automatic detection of rhythm in fiction and investigation of how rhythm of prosaic texts changed over 19th-21st centuries, based on results of such detection. The authors developed algorithms, which extract rhythm figures related to word repetitions (anaphora, epiphora, polysyndeton, etc.), and visualized their statistical features in plots and heat maps by decades on the material of British and Russian literature. The experiments allowed to find rhythm changes over periods and give interpretation of their reasons from a linguistic point of view.
