Corpus, computational linguistics, Chilean poetry, metric patterns, demographics of Chilean poetsAbstract
A quantitative stylometric analysis of Chilean poetry is presented based on a specialized corpus, Corpus de Poesía Chilena (Corpoch), an approach that has advanced significantly since the foundational work of Franco Moretti (Goodwin and Holbo, 2011; Moretti, 2005). This project –unprecedented in providing a systematic corpus– aims to furnish scholars of Chilean poetry with trends, patterns, regularities, and exceptions grounded in robust evidence through computational routines (Yu, 2008; Marchetti, Sprugnoli and Tonelli, 2014) that apply recent advances in Computational and Corpus Linguistics to poetry produced in Chile between the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries.
