• Resumen

  • This chapter outlines the task of Authorship Identification from a qualitative perspective. After defining central elements, major differences between identification and profiling are explained. The reader then is given a brief overview on methodological issues in the field as well as relevant theoretical concepts and the theoretical framework of evaluative reporting. Against this background, the most significant methodologies—that is error analysis and style analysis—are explained. The main part of the chapter forms an exemplary case study, in which the reader is guided through the steps that a thorough linguistic text analysis or text comparison usually involves.
