Many of the posts on this blog deal with the statistical analysis of linguistic features in early modern literary texts, with an emphasis on Shakespeare. These techniques are explained in the sequence of posts listed under the <a href=\"http:\/\/winedarksea.com\/?cat=8\">Shakespeare<\/a> tag, so if you are interested in this work, I recommend that you click on this tag and start with the oldest post first.\u00a0These posts constitute a tutorial on the ongoing work I have been doing with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.strath.ac.uk\/staff\/hopejonathanprof\/\">Jonathan Hope<\/a> (Strathclyde University) on the Shakespearean corpus, so those wishing to know more about this kind of work will find useful introductory material at the beginning of this thread.<\/p>\n<p>The blog also deals with philosophical issues surrounding relationships among concrete and abstract objects (e.g., texts, mathematical models of texts, decisions of editors and critics). Posts dealing with philosophical matters can be found under the tag <a href=\"http:\/\/winedarksea.com\/?cat=24\">Quant Theory<\/a>.
