Jihyo Kim and Eon-Suk Ko. 2018. A comparative analysis of crime fiction and crime nonfiction using topic modeling. Language and Information, 22.3, 109-134. This paper analyzes topics in crime fiction, detective fiction, mystery fiction, and crime nonfiction by applying topic modeling methods using the program R. We constructed a corpus from books related to crime in the fiction bookshelf and the crime bookshelf of Project Gutenberg. The corpus included a total of 13,119,073 words from 141 writing pieces of 56 authors. The results indicate that crime nonfiction tends to use more specific, direct, and specialized terms as compared to crime fiction. The three subcategories of crime fiction shared many topics and frequently used words expected of a novel dealing with crime, though there were subtle variations between them. We additionally compared the texts with regard to the gender of the authors. It seems that female authors of detective fiction and crime nonfiction tend to develop their stories centered around the characters, often directly referring to their names(e.g. Halsey). In comparison, male authors tend to develop the plot focusing on criminal activities and the process of resolution, and their reference to the characters often rely on relational terms(e.g. father) rather than actual names.
