Abstract

In this artical our contribution is towards statistical stylistics, a discipline established in the recent years. We have analysed samples from the book entitled, ‘Glimpses of World History’ (1931) by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Our attempt is to study author’s writing style with the help of marker words. A method of selecting statistical model for the literary style has been described, and different methods of estimation of parameters appearing in the models have been discussed.
