CapekDraCor database and some aspects of quantitative linguistic analysis of the Čapek brothers’ plays

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter of a methodological nature presents the newly created CapekDraCor database, which serves as a source of data for quantitative linguistic analysis of the plays of the Čapek brothers. The text focuses on the issue of the specific multi-layered structure of dramas and emphasizes the necessity of separating the dialogues of characters from metatextual elements (stage directions, authorial comments, and character labels) to ensure valid statistical outcomes. By comparing the database with the &quot;capek&quot; corpus in the Czech National Corpus, the analysis illustrates the risks of distorting linguistic parameters, such as lemma/keyword frequencies or part-of-speech distributions, in the absence of adequate text segmentation. The text also offers a comparison of the genre specificities of Karel Čapek&apos;s dramatic works using lexicostatistical indexes (ATL, VD, activity/descriptivity index) and demonstrates the application possibilities of the CapekDraCor database using the example of keyword analysis (TF*IDF, specificity score), character co-occurrence networks, and sentiment analysis in the plays The White Disease and R.U.R.
