"Skimming the Surface: Improvements in the Quality of Syntactic
Descriptions for Stylistics," ITL: Review of Applied
Linguistics, 52 (1981), 55-73.
This article describes programs which analyze the basic syntactic
output from the EYEBALL parser to determine fine-grained syntactic
features such as the voice, mood, and tense of verbs, the constituent
structures of nominal and verbal phrases, and the basic structures of
clauses. A sample analysis of the most frequent types of verb phrases
in two poems by Coleridge illustrate how the programs might be
used.
