Have you written any papers and are they available for reading.
Your research sounds interesting
I worked with 2 professors, one, Vassar Professor Don Foster, with literary analysis, the second, Emeritus Professor McDonald Jackson of U of Auckland, with statistical analysis. We were attempting to discover whether Major Henry Livingston, Jr was the actual author of Night Before Christmas, and not Clement Moore.
Mac’s book is written in academic speak. So I had a chapter in my big book on Henry that tried to translate Mac into people speak.

is my Henry Livingston site. My 3 books and Mac’s book are shown at the top. The summary of the statistical research is at:

I was the chair of computer programming languages once, long ago and far away, and at IBM Research for 10 years. My girlfriend was president of computational linguistics. I pulled her and my husband, an IBM Researcher for 20 years, into the project and my friend got us into the phoneme research, which hadn’t been used before by Mac. Husband wrote the programs and I designed the data layouts to let Mac be able to instantly recognize how his ideas for discrimination were working. His eventual discriminator showed that the Christmas poet and Henry statistically used the same favored sounds. Moore was way different.
This was just a scientific proof of what I’d already noted. When I was sucking Lyn into the work, I did it by reading to her aloud from both Moore and Henry.

As I was reading Moore, I stopped to notice that I was having trouble SAYING Moore’s poetry, where Henry’s had flowed. Lyn explained that it had to do with how far my tongue was moving in my mouth between words. I ran home to write Mac and he knew about phonemes but hadn’t done anything with them since his college days and thought the work too much for us. Lyn and I are out of the military/industrial world so we just live on detailed work like that. So he agreed to try it. And he was thrilled by the result.
It was an incredibly exciting time. Truly wish Mac could speak people-talk.
