Subject: Computer generated literary texts

Computer generation of literary texts seems to be far more active
in Europe and especially in France. European colleagues have
asked me about computer generation in north-america.

- Are there active groups or individuals (programmer-writer)?
- Are there published or distributed computer generated texts,
journals or anthologies?
- Are there short stories, novels and poems produced?
- Is there literature on the subject or journals devoted to
it? Are there bibliographic databanks?
- Are there different schools, literary mouvments in the
field?
- Are there general or introductory surveys of that
discipline?
- Names of persons or organizations to contact?

Thanks.
Michel.

Subject: turkish e texts
 
 Who knows more about available e-texts / e-samples of
 (modern) Turkish & related languages besides those in
 the Oxford Text Archive?
 If I get enough response I shal put the completed list
 on Humanist again.

Subject:      Qu:Hebrew Electronic List
 
 There was a signal on Humanist, last September, that there is a
Hebrew Electronic List at DARTSMC1. When I try to contact this node,
I get a message, that there is no such a location. Does anybody
know if this list still exists, and if it does, at what address?

Subject: RLIN access
 
Does anybody have the e-mail address for RLIN? I came across it in a list of
text files stored at the Oxford Text Archive. It is apparently not an FTP
site, at least one in the index on our VAX.

Subject: "stylometrics"
 
A former graduate student who is working on her first book is
interested in using a technique similar to that described by J.A.Kenny
in THE COMPUTATION OF STYLE to determine authorship in a problematic
manuscript.   I suggested that there may be software that would  be
useful to her in accomplishing such an analysis and that I would ask
HUMANIST for advice.  Your comments and suggestions would be most welcome.
