| Sumario: | This research project sets out to accomplish two main objectives. On the one hand, to determine the authorship of the Elizabethan play Arden of Faversham with a forensic linguistic analysis considering William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe as the possible candidates. On the other hand, to develop the computational program ALTXA, which can carry out authorship attribution tests within the disciplinary framework of forensic linguistics and has an intuitive interface, which will facilitate the work of other linguists and the spread of studies of this kind in educational contexts.Firstly, some biographical data of Shakespeare and Marlowe is offered to establish a connection between both which justifies their possible cooperation in the elaboration of Arden of Faversham, together with a historical and literary analysis of the play itself. Afterwards, forensic linguistics is defined and a series of basic notions about its historical development and main areas of study are provided to narrow down progressively the scope of the thesis until authorship attribution studies are presented and explained in more depth, with a special emphasis on previous investigations on the authorship of Arden of Faversham. These sections are not merely descriptive, since they include theoretical contributions that anticipate the methodological approach selected for the posterior analysis... |
