In reply to the question concerning stylistic analysis of texts for the
purpose of author attribution, I can recommend very highly a book by G.
R. Ledger titl ed Re-Counting Plato. A Computer Analysis of Plato's
Style. In this book the a uthor explains in great detail the method of
mutivariate stylistic analysis whi ch I believe is portable to texts in
languages other than Greek, making the app ropriate adjustments of
course. The book was published in 1989 by OUP.

Just a suggestion would be to read an article by E. Irizarry, 1989,
227-233, Chum 23 (3) which deals with similar subjects. Oakman's book
also has a section on authorship attribution. (Computer Methods for
Literary Research, University of South Carolina Press, 1980 (1st ed.)
