Description: The book presents methods for the objective analysis of poetic language. Common objects of literary studies such as rhythm, semantic explications, interpretation and personal impressions are avoided. Only those properties of poetic texts are taken into account that could be quantified. For all methods both statistical tests, theoretical derivations, and examples are presented. --
Notes: "The methods presented in this study are applied to a corpus of 150 Romanian poems (including also a few "outliers") written by Mihai Eminescu as they can be found in many editions of his works, texts analysing his works, or on the Internet..." -- Preface.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 270-275) and index.
