Awesome! Our new paper in #DHQ has been published!
It discusses three measures of #keyness (or #distinctiveness) when applied to #subgenres of the #French #novel.
The twist is that we perform a #qualitative #evaluation of the measures by relating each list of keywords to a set of characteristics of each subgenre built from reading scholarly publications on the subgenres.
Bottom line: choosing a measure makes a huge difference!
