When focus goes wild: An empirical study of two syntactic positions for information focus by Ángel L. Jiménez-Fernández

Paul’s Style and the Problem of the Pastoral Letters: Assessing Statistical Models of Description and Inference by Pracht Erich Benjamin, McCauley Thomas

“…With our approach, we have found a way to utilize Paul’s authentic letters as a standard of measurement by which the style(s) of the Pastorals can be compared, an essential first step to statistical inference that is generally lacking in Pauline stylometry. With few exceptions, we find that the Pastoral Letters do not contain stylistic differences with the authentic Paulines at a statistically significant level, a finding that disputes many previous studies (especially in the qualitative tradition) that assume stylistic difference, but which is in line with an emerging trend in computational analyses of the Pauline and Pastoral Letters.…”
