Description
Summary:The article aims to determine and analyze the quantitative parameters in terms of absolute word frequency, relative word frequency, and rank in novels by M. Amis: "London fields" "Night train" "Other people: a mystery story" and "Success", which expose lexical choices of the author. Quantitative text analysis as part of computational data processing is supported and accessed through the web browser tool - Voyant, which generates quantitative parameters grounded on the most frequent textual elements (words) in corpora. The most frequent words in general corpora are further analyzed due to their frequencies and rank in each corpus and textual segments. The researched quantitative parameters form the ground for perspective textual semantic analysis.
