Lecture by dr. Michał Choiński from the Institute of English Philology of the Jagiellonian University

On March 13, 2019, we hosted Dr. Michał Choiński from the Institute of English Studies at the Jagiellonian University, a researcher of stylometric methods, who gave a fascinating lecture on “From Counting Words to Chemical Particles – on Stylometric Research in Literary Studies”.

What is stylometry? How are mathematics and computer programs used to find an anonymous author or to establish the chronology of a text? Students of bilingual classes with English learned the answers to these and other questions. The meeting was coordinated by prof. Agnieszka Batko.
