Abstract

For some time now, stylometry has offered great results in establishing the linguistic profile of a given individual, the authorship attribution of an anonymous text or a text with a dubious author, the detection of plagiarism, or the analysis of feelings. This is possible thanks to the possibility of quickly and objectively quantifying measurable traits such as lexical frequency, average number of words per sentence, type/token ratio or verbal expression of emotions. In this article we intend to delve into another one of the applications of quantitative analysis, less studied but enormously interesting, which is related to the possibility of determining the stylistic evolution of an author over time (intrapersonal variation), taking the work of Miguel Delibes as a reference. Thus, in the following pages we will study how the delibesian style gradually changes over the years and how this variation manifests itself in an especially significant way in Los santos inocentes, a novel published in 1981 but whose compositional genesis dates back to the end of the 60s.
