用多层文本分析方法，量化文学作品的模仿与创新轨迹。
Creative Transformation in Literary Texts: Modelling Change Across Representational Levels
- 从词法到叙事五层对比文本，识别模仿与变化
- 不同作品对源文本结构保留程度各异，展现差异化演变
- 适合研究文学影响、跨代创作或文本演化的人
创造力常被理解为新奇产物的生成，但许多文化作品实则源于对早期作品的改造而非孤立发明。本文基于加布里埃尔·塔尔德和詹姆斯·马克·鲍德温的仿效理论，将创造力建模为跨多个文本表征层次的选择性转化。我们提出一个多层级框架，通过方向性对齐与可控相似度度量，在词汇、语义、概念、结构和叙事五个维度上比较文学文本。应用于有历史记录的文学关联案例，结果表明不同文本对源作在不同层次上保持结构一致性，而在其他层面则出现分化。这些转化特征提供了量化刻画文学作品中仿效延续与创造性差异的位置与方式。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Creativity is often framed as the production of novelty, yet many cultural works emerge through transformation of earlier artifacts and not through isolated invention. Drawing on theories of imitation by Gabriel Tarde and James Mark Baldwin, this paper models creativity as selective transformation across multiple levels of textual representation. We introduce a multi-level framework that compares literary texts across lexical, semantic, conceptual, structural, and narrative dimensions using directional alignment and control calibrated similarity measures. Applying the model to historically documented literary relationships, we show that different pairs preserve source structure at different representational levels while diverging in others. These transformation profiles provide a quantitative method for characterizing how imitation persists and where creative divergence occurs within literary works.
