The Development of Stylometry in Japan:From Article Psychology to Digital Humanities
This study aims to systematically trace the history and development of stylometry in Japan from the perspectives of temporal evolution and content classification through a literature review.It also analyzes representative cases and characteristics of stylometry in Japanese literary research.The evolution of Japanese stylometry has exhibited distinct localized features:in the 1930s,it emerged in the field of psychology with minimal influence from Western theo-ries;around the 1960s,the establishment of the Mathematical Linguistic Society of Japan facilitated the popularization of quantitative linguistic methods;and after the 1990s,ad vancements in computer technology and statistics ushered in a period of prolific research output.Throughout this extensive accumulation process,Japanese stylometry has gradually de-veloped interdisciplinary characteristics that intertwine linguistics,psychology,and literature,establishing a research paradigm that merges the sciences and humanities and emphasizes problem-oriented inquiry.This has resulted in a wealth of practical research findings that serve as important references for domestic literary studies.
