A Thematic Analysis of English and American Literature Works Based on Text Mining and Sentiment Analysis

A theme analysis model integrating text mining and sentiment analysis has emerged as a powerful tool for understanding English and American literary works. By employing techniques such as topic modeling, keyword extraction, and sentiment analysis, this model can identify recurring themes, motifs, and emotional tones within texts. Through text mining, it extracts key concepts and topics, while sentiment analysis discerns the underlying emotions conveyed by the authors. By combining these approaches, researchers can uncover deeper insights into the thematic elements and cultural contexts of English and American literature. This paper explores the application of text mining and sentiment analysis techniques to analyze a dataset comprising American literary works. With computational methods such as bi-gram analysis, multimodal feature extraction, and sentiment analysis using the Bi-gram Multimodal Sentimental Analysis (Bi-gramMSA) approach. With the proposed Bi-gramMSA model the multimodal features in the American Literature are examined to investigate the thematic, emotional, and multimodal aspects of the literature. Through our analysis, we uncover significant bi-grams, extract multimodal features, and assess sentiment distribution across the texts. The results highlight the effectiveness of these computational methodologies in uncovering patterns, sentiments, and features within the literary corpus. The proposed Bi-gramMSA model achives a higher score for the different scores in the Chinese Literature.

Historic(al) New York as Fictional Object

This paper aims to investigate the portrayal of New York City in prominent American literary works, ranging from Washington Irving’s (1809) A History of New York to contemporary post-9/11 novels through an analysis of how evolving depictions of the city have been transformed into potent and revealing fictional objects that enrich the literary works into which they have been integrated. By employing the classification of fictional objects into native, immigrant, and surrogate set forth by Terrence Parsons (1980) in his landmark work Nonexistent Objects, this applied study on New York posits that, within the larger literary framework of the novels under discussion, cities construed as fictional objects manage to stimulate an active reading of the text and prompt diverse interpretations of their broader cultural significance. Essentially, this paper illustrates how the historical identity of New York City has been continually reimagined in American literature and how these imaginative representations continue to influence our contemporary popular perception of the city.

Multi-featured Emotional Expressions in English and American Literature - Based on the Application of Thinking Operations Modeling

Abstract Emotional analysis of English and American literary works constitutes a significant facet of literary scholarship. This study employs a cognitive operation model for analyzing emotional expressions in English and American literature, constructing a multi-featured method for emotion recognition and analysis, which serves as the principal analytical tool of the cognitive operation model. The research involves collecting and processing textual data from English and American literary works, followed by the application of the Senti-BERT model for vectorized representation. Subsequently, a bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network is used to extract emotional vectors. Furthermore, a softmax function equipped with a multi-attention mechanism facilitates the classification and recognition of emotions. The efficacy of this model was evaluated using a pertinent dataset, with four literary works selected for empirical analysis. Results indicate that the predominant emotional tone across these works is negative. Specifically, the emotion of “anger” in Charles Dickens’s “Bleak House” was predominantly observed in chapters 0-2200, with an emotion value ranging between 20-30. This study provides a robust methodological framework for dissecting the complex emotional expressions in English and American literary texts, thereby enhancing readers’ comprehension of the nuanced meanings embedded within these works.

Exploring Themes and Patterns in American Literature Using Text Analysis Techniques

Abstract This study leverages web crawling techniques within the realm of text mining to collect text data from American literary sources. Given the presence of substantial extraneous information in the data, preprocessing is essential to refine the content. Once processed, the data is fed into a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network to generate text vectors that encapsulate characteristics of American literature. Building on this, the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model extracts salient features from these vectors. An illustrative analysis of American literature is conducted using these methods. Our findings indicate that a significant portion of novels, which mirror the societal life themes prevalent in the United States, aligned with the ideological currents of their time. Notably, these constituted a substantial majority—62.18%—of all American literary works during the period under review. This research not only facilitates the wider dissemination and exchange of American literary works but also contributes to elevating American literature to a new echelon of global recognition.

Analyzing the Emotional Characteristics of British and American Literature by Combining Semiotics and the Operational Model of Thinking

Abstract This paper first analyzes the emotional features of English and American literary works by combining semiotics of interactivity, language class emotional context and thinking operation model. Then, a B-Feature-BP text emotion feature construction model is constructed on the basis of the BRET model combined with the BP neural network, and the emotion features of English and American literary works are constructed by combining semiotics and the thought operation model. Then, based on the multi-task learning method in deep learning, a multi-task MT-GSU model is proposed to classify and recognize the emotional features of constructed text. Finally, the performance of constructing, classifying and recognizing the emotional features of English and American literary works in this paper is analyzed so as to analyze the emotional features of English and American literary works. The results show that the performance of the constructed emotional features is all greater than 0.8, and the emotional features of the characters, the environment, and the whole of the English and American literary works are above 0.87, and the classification time is between [0.338,0.721]s. The intensity of tendency of the characteristics of the emotions of the works of English and American literature is [0.68,0.78], the intensity of stability is [0.6,0.74], the intensity of profundity is [0.71,0.79], and the intensity of efficacy is [0.72,0.82]. This study has a positive impact on the appreciation and translation of English and American literary works.

Russian linguaculture and mythopoetics in American literary works by writers of Russian Heritage

The article analyzes linguacultural features of bilingual and bicultural writers Patricia Polacco and Nicholas Kotar, who are also heritage language speakers. Heritage language speaking writers are a part of the evolving bilingual and bicultural creativity in contemporary American literature.

Studying the role of English and American literature in the dissemination of digital health concepts

Abstract This paper first analyzes the implementation of digital health education in English and American literature descriptively, based on the principles and characteristics of language art in English and American literature. Then, based on the word vector model, the CBOW model and Glove model are proposed for assigning weights to words with different occurrence frequencies, followed by linear splicing of word vectors and their additional feature vectors in sentences into final word vectors fed into the semantic analysis model, thus eliminating the phenomenon of illegal labels being predicted, improving the accuracy of semantic analysis prediction, and empirically analyzing English and American literary works under the concept of digital health analysis. The results showed that on digital health, the mean value of students’ evaluation of their mental health status in class 4 increased from 2.88 in the pre-test to 3.48 in the post-test, and the overall evaluation scores of mental health status were on an upward trend. For the model performance analysis, AvgPool’s summation and averaging of all features in the pooling domain can retain more linguistic information and reduce the training parameters to improve the model performance further. This study explores the concept of digital health in English and American literature to improve one’s cultural literacy.

The Application of Puritanism in American Early Literature

Puritanism is an important cornerstone of American society and culture, and it has exerted a very important influence on the economy, politics, religion and social life of American society. It has a profound influence on the American people’s thoughts and culture from all aspects, and has laid the keynote of American society and American spirit, and shaped the American people’s character of hard work, thrift, piety sobriety. Early American literary works were also influenced by Puritanism, showing the characteristics of simplicity, directness and freshness. This paper discusses the cause and connotation of Puritanism, as well as its influence on the American character. Based on this, this passage takes the Autobiography of Franklin and the Declaration of Independence as examples to analyze the specific application of Puritanism in early American literary works.

A Study of Untranslatability and Strategies in English-American Literary Translation under Bassnetts Theory of Cultural Translation

Literary works are the carrier of a nations history and culture and the embodiment of a nations cultural image. There are significant differences between English and Chinese cultures. In the context of cross-cultural communication, good translation of British and American literary works is helpful to promote cultural exchanges. At present, there have been many academic achievements in the study of English and American literature translation, and some of them have paid attention to differences in cultural backgrounds, but few studies combine with foreign translation theories. On the basis of previous translation research results, this paper will use Bassnetts theory of cultural translation to assess and analyze the translation methods of English and American literature. This article analyzes the importance of translation based on cultural differences in the process of English-American literature to Chinese versions translation and the untranslatability caused by cultural differences. In addition, British and American literature are analyzed from various angles, like mythological and religious vocabulary, living customs and living environment, and differences in thinking by using many practical examples.

Tranquilizing Forgivable Feuds between Frank Chin and Maxine Hong Kingston to Establish the Group Identities of Chinese Americans

In the midst of seeking for the true cultural identification of entire Chinese Americans, imaginative discrepancies cropped up in the actual aesthetic and artistic production of Chinese American literature due to the inconsistent insistence of the cultural stances exemplified in the aesthetic and artistic articulation of the true cultural values and cultural virtues in the diverse and distinctive production of Chinese American literary works. Among those discrepancies between either two of various Chinese American writers, those between Frank Chin and Maxine Hong Kingston has stirred a great sensation in the forum of Chinese American literature because of the persistence of the former in positive protection of the masculinity of Chinese American men and the ongoing insistence of the latter on the negative promotion of it from the perspective of feminism without knowing in a very clear fashion that their inconsistence led to the strong feud between them and the harm it has done to the establishment of the cultural identity of Chinese Americans. Indebted to the insights carried in the group identities proposed by Henry Tajfel and John Turner (1979), this article will make a rational comparison between what they have sticked to in a respective fashion and come up with the point that the feud between them are forgivable and forgettable as what they have done is very valuable for the improvement of the true social, cultural, and, ethnic identities of Chinese Americans who are composed of both Chinese American men and Chinese American women to deal with the great danger into which all Chinese Americans have been thrown into due to the excessive popularization of the social, cultural, and, ethnic discrimination of the entire ethnic group of Chinese Americans in Chinese American community.

Биографические основы творческого мировоззрения Джеффри Евгенидиса

The aim of the study is to assess the degree of biography influence on the formation of the author’s crosscultural synthesis conception in the prose of the American writer J. Eugenides. The article examines the features of the national-specific colouring of J. Eugenides’s poetics in the context of the multiculturalism phenomenon. The scientific novelty of the work is determined by the lack of research of the author’s artistic conception of crosscultural interaction and the substantiation of the importance of studying multiculturalism while interpreting modern American literary works. As a result, the main features of crosscultural synthesis organization in J. Eugenides’s prose are highlighted. This synthesis manifests itself primarily in the impossibility for the characters to make an important choice without taking into account generally accepted and socially approved norms.

African American Canon and Criticism: Henry Louis Gates’s The Signifying Monkey

Henry Louis Gates in The Signifying Monkey: A Theory of African American Literary Criticism (1988) examines the significance of the Signifying Monkey, a trickster figure in African folklore, and whose manner of speaking produces uncertainty and double meanings. He examines how the specific language usage of the Signifying Monkey is altered and appears in African American texts by analyzing the trope of the talking book in early slave narratives and contemporary African American literary works. Gates’s book is hailed as one of the most original and groundbreaking works, and critics’ responses in its twenty-fifth-anniversary edition show its continuing impact. However, it has also been criticized for an intertextual and apolitical reading of slave narratives and for reproducing essentialism of Black literature. Focusing on the trope of the talking book, I examine how Gate’s theory and related contentions reveal critical issues of the African American literary tradition and problems of canon formation, regarding the concept of distinctive and coherent African American aesthetics, elitism, and its relationship with African American readers.

On the Tradition of dramatic monologue in English and American literature

In British and American literary works, dramatic monologue, as a unique form of literary and artistic expression, is mainly used to distinguish the poet from the first person, and will deeply depict and shape the inner world of the characters. In the continuous development of social economy, dramatic monologue not only has a profound impact on British and American literature, but also expands the development space of literary works in the continuous study. Therefore, after understanding the definition and characteristics of dramatic soliloquy, this paper briefly understands three common forms of dramatic soliloquy in British and American literature, so as to provide effective basis for modern literary creation.

The Significance of Native Indian Presence in American Literature

The image of the Native Indian, was used on both sides of the Atlantic for many years but subsequent to the American war waged against Great Britain in 1812, the Native Indian image was given a previously unseen prominence in American literary works, and this lasted for almost half a century. The reason for this swift change of status of the Native Indians is revealed through the present paper. The works of Irving, Cooper, Longfellow, Hawthorne, and Melville have been referred to in order to strengthen my premise. Hawthorne and Melville use a technique different from the other authors who focus directly on the Native Indians thus proving their importance in American literature of the early 19th century. In The Scarlet Letter and Moby-Dick or The Whale, the respective authors, Hawthorne and Melville bring out the importance of the Native Indians through the almost imperceptible presence of the Native Indians. To understand this, a basic understanding of the plots being required, the storylines of the novels are concisely unfolded through a narrative analysis deriving from a qualitative approach. This enables the reader to understand Hawthorne and Melville’s approach to establishing the significance of the Native Indians and their sudden boost in status in the American literary sphere.

A People’s Future of Leisure Studies: Political Cultural Black Outdoors Experiences

Public lands and the outdoor opportunities they afford are imbued with a long history of cultural and political contestations between the White settler colonial regime, Black and Native Americans. These contestations are grounded in starkly different values and beliefs systems pertaining to the landscape and human-nature relations. Despite the contestations, whiteness continues to dominate the narratives about public lands and its institutions. Furthermore, the ideology of wilderness - as a place of refuge, the antidote to urban living – remains the main frame of reference to explore outdoor experiences. Thus, as researchers continue to espouse this ideology of wilderness, they effectively suppress the experiences and values that African Americans and other people of color hold towards nature and historically shaped by their social and political realities. The history of slavery, post-slavery and Black dispossession, have conjured up innovative Black diasporic cultural practices of resistance, survival and self-determination. Through hidden outdoor spaces they have forged a culture of resistance, built social structures centered on African traditional practices, and engaged in alternative modes of environmental stewardship. The Black outdoors culture today have roots in this robust legacy of resistance and political struggle for self-determination and provide inspiration for outdoor recreation and environmental education programs that culturally and politically relevant to African Americans. In this paper we engage in an investigation on Black peoples’ political outlook of the outdoors and/or their political outlook on engagement with those spaces both historically and presently. In doing so, we first call attention to the need to critically examine diversity practices designed to accommodate a multi-cultural society and how they contribute to a cultural hegemony. We also review the history of research on outdoor experiences putting into sharper relief the Euro-centric values that dominate the analysis and maintain the cultural power of white racial identities. Finally, pulling from African American literary works, we propose Black-centered interpretations of nature centered on their cultural worldviews and political resistance against hegemonic models of dispossession, abstraction and commodification. The aim here is to advocate for the co-existence of multiple cultural imaginaries of nature defined by the social and political realities of different racialized people, thus responding to the call for different paradigms of outdoor recreation highlighted in this special issue.

Translation of Chinese, English and American Literary Works in College English Teaching under the Cultural Differences between China and the West

In the process of college English teaching, dealing with cultural differences is an important, complex and difficult issue. With the increasingly close cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, the continuous advancement of economic globalization and the trend of cultural diversification, translation is not only one of the ways of information exchange and expression in English, but also an indispensable tool. Due to the huge differences in language background and other factors, in order to better deal with this situation, it is necessary to effectively communicate with the Chinese and Western ethnic groups and achieve a satisfactory result for both parties. This is a very necessary task, and it is also a an inevitable trend. By analyzing the English teaching under the cultural differences between China and the West, this paper effectively communicates and understands both Chinese and foreign languages, analyzes the cultural differences between China and the West, and proposes some translation strategies.

A Brief Analysis of the Application of English Language in British and American Literature Based on Artificial Intelligence

artificial intelligence (AI), abbreviated in English, is the research and development of human body to produce new technologies to simulate and expand the application of human intelligence in machines. The ultimate goal of artificial intelligence is to be able to produce robots that are not different from human beings and only listen to human beings. To achieve this technology, the most important thing is to be able to analyze and study the substantive operation function of human intelligence. The most ideal way of language learning is to be able to personally visit the language environment, feel the atmosphere of the language culture, and have in-depth communication with the language owner. However, in reality, such an idealized state is impossible to exist, so literary works have become more ideal language and cultural materials. Both British and American languages use English to communicate, although both belong to English, the cultural differences lead to their different ways of expression. This paper first makes a simple analysis of the artificial intelligence system, then analyzes the differences between British and American literary works, and then interprets and analyzes the application of artificial intelligence system in British and American literary works in detail.
