This project aims to use statistical methods to assess different versions of Shakepeare’s plays. The Shakespeare First Folio is the most important source for the texts of Shakespeare's plays, but the dates of some Folio and rival versions, and the nature of their transmission from an original manuscript, are disputed. There is uncertainty whether some highly divergent versions represent authorial revisions, or adaptations for reading, or for touring, or simply corruption through careless copying. This project plans to conduct a statistical analysis of the language of the 18 plays that appear both in the Folio and in previous Quarto versions, focusing on patterns of word use and orthography, to provide a better understanding of the Folio and new evidence about the texts of individual plays.

这个项目旨在使用统计方法来评估莎士比亚戏剧的不同版本。莎士比亚第一对开本是莎士比亚戏剧文本最重要的来源，但一些对开本和竞争版本的日期以及它们从原始手稿传播的性质是有争议的。目前还不确定一些高度分歧的版本是否代表作者的修订，或改编为阅读，或巡回演出，或简单的腐败通过粗心的复制。本项目计划对出现在对开本和以前的夸托版本中的18部戏剧的语言进行统计分析，重点是词语使用和拼写的模式，以提供对开本的更好理解和关于单个戏剧文本的新证据。
