I will add to the article by inputing information on how exactly idiolect is analyzed in different mediums (such as text versus audio) by methods like word count per sentence and word choice. Hjw38 (talk) 01:05, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

I will add to the article by adding terms and explanations that an average person, with no knowledge about idiolect, would easily understand. In the article we looked at last week, some terms were vague and unclear. I will add clarification and further explanation of foundational terms used in the article.

I will add specific examples of different idiolects to help clarify the reader's understanding. Visually seeing multiple examples broken down may help readers' greatly instead of just reading what idiolect means. Yomna1013 (talk) 00:36, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

'''The connection between Language and Idiolect-Veronica Cardiellos I want to walk the reader through the connection between language and this topic in the layperson's terms. How language is multi faceted consisting of sentence constructs, word choice, expression of style. Idiolect is an individual's unique use of language. Meaning it reflects how every individual uniquely utilizes the many different facets of language to create their own individual way of speaking. Forensic linguistics is able to analyze these individual unique uses of language to come to conclusions within cases. Source: Gerard C, Gerard C.

Examples of Idiolect in Practice -Veronica Cardiellos In order for the reader to understand this topic fully, I want to incorporate specific examples of times idiolect was utilized in forensic linguistics. The examples I want to share include the solving of the �Unabomber Case, the Carl Bridgewater murder case, and student plagiarism cases. By providing real life examples of when idiolect helps solve cases can give a better understanding of this topic. VeronicaCard (talk) 01:31, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

I would be interested in adding more content with reliable sources and also fixing any information that need better sources. Specifically, the first sentence under Language: "The notion of language is used as an abstract description of the language use, and of the abilities of individual speakers and listeners." which is said to need a better source. I believe the aim here was to get a description of language and how it relates to Idiolect but it cites an article that is not focused on either topic. It'd be better to find a source that is specifically related to idiolects. Jas1075 (talk) 03:37, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

 

Using Corpus to Detect Idiolect:
''' Idiolect analysis is different for an individual depending on whether the data being analyzed is from a corpus made up entirely from texts or audio files, since written work is more thought out in planning and precise in wording than in (spontaneous) speech, where informal language and conversation fillers (i.e. umm..., you know, and etc.) fill corpus samples. Corpora with large amounts of input data allow for the generation of word frequency and synonym lists to be generated, normally through the use of the top ten bi-grams created from it (context of word usage is taken into account here, when determining whether a bigram is legitimate in certain circumstances).

Determining whether a word or phrase is part of an idiolect, is determined by where the word is in comparison to the window's head word, the edge of the window. This window is kept to 7 - 10 words, with a sample that is being considered as a feature of the idiolect as being possibly +5/-5 words away from the "head" word of the window (which is normally in the middle). Data in corpus pertaining to idiolect get sorted into three categories irrelevant, personal discourse marker(s), and informal vocabulary. Samples that are at the end of the frame and far from this head word, are often ruled to be superfluous. Superfluous data then needs to be run through different functions than non superfluous data, in order to see if this word or phrase is a part of an individual's idiolect.

- Edit that needs to be added:

"The notion of language is used as an abstract description of the language use, and of the abilities of individual speakers and listeners.[3][better source needed]"

I propose adding another source to this in order to strengthen it: Lyons, John (1981). Language and Linguistics. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 978-0-521-29775-2.

It touches on the same information presented and is a reliable source used in many scholarly articles and other Wikipedia pages. Jas1075 (talk) 23:43, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi all, I see a lot of content here about what you will do. Don't forget to also dothe changes, first by showing here on your group sandbox page what you are editing. It may help to organize your edits by using the header labels that are on your article's mainpage so everyone knows what changes are happening and where.
