This article describes pilot experiments performed as one part of a longterm project examining the possibilities for using versification analysis to determine the authorships of poetic texts. Since we are addressing this article to both stylometry experts and experts in the study of verse, we first introduce in detail the common classifiers used in contemporary stylometry (Burrows’ Delta, Argamon’s Quadratic Delta, Smith-Aldridge’s Cosine Delta, and the Support Vector Machine) and explain how they work via graphic examples. We then provide an evaluation of these classifiers’ performance when used with the versification features found in Czech, German, Spanish, and English poetry. We conclude that versification is a reasonable stylometric marker, the strength of which is comparable to the other markers traditionally used in stylometry (such as the frequencies of the most frequent words and the frequencies of the most frequent character n-grams).

验证和作者归属。捷克，德国，西班牙和英国诗歌的初步研究

本文介绍了作为长期项目的一部分而进行的试验性实验，旨在检验使用文本分析确定诗歌文本作者的可能性。由于我们既要向文体测验专家又要向诗词研究专家致辞，因此，我们首先详细介绍当代文体测验中使用的常见分类器（Burrows的Delta，Argamon的Quadratic Delta，Smith-Aldridge的余弦Delta和支持向量机） ），并通过图形示例说明它们的工作方式。然后，我们结合捷克语，德语，西班牙语和英语诗歌中的多功能化功能，对这些分类器的性能进行评估。我们得出的结论是，多样化是一种合理的风格标记，
