Type: Journal Article Year: 2013 Publication Information: PLoS ONE 8, no. 6 (2013): e66813. (http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0066813) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0066813 Annotation: Applies a new methodology that highlights variations in word occurrence to a corpus of early modern plays. Suggests that similarities can be drawn to the Maxwell's Demon thought experiment wherein "authors subconsciously favour or filter certain words, modifying the probability profile in ways that could reflect their individuality and style."
