This study mainly investigates the genre development of modern Chinese novels since 1919 from a perspective of quantitative linguistics. We choose the a-index and lambda as our quantitative indicators. Firstly, we test their applicability to distinguish different genres of texts written in Chinese. The results show that both the indicators work, and lambda performs better than the a-index. Then we obtained the data of modern Chinese novels from 1919 to 2015 with regard to lambda. Based on the findings above and the diachronic data, we conclude that the change of the genre characteristics of modern Chinese novels is not significant since 1919. |
