Your input is compared word-by-word with this list and a percentage correlation between the two is generated. No advanced techniques were used in processing the plays, so the Bard’s words have not been lemmatized and the list contains the names of all his characters.<br /><br />"In some cases you may notice some anomalous results, particularly when you cut and paste a passage of Shakespeare from the web and see a result that might only be 98% Shakespearean. These results can occur because sometimes text from other sources might be from a slightly different edit of the original play, or might contain special characters that this page might not understand. Please remember this is a bit of fun rather than a serious linguistic tool."MacEvoyhttp://www.shelfactualization.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4818215410689699213.post-20026472350018986962012-01-05T16:18:25.250-05:002012-01-05T16:18:25.250-05:00What formula does this tool use to measure how Sha...What formula does this tool use to measure how Shakespearean you are?Tucker McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669402261761814260noreply@blogger.com
