INDEX AND CONCORDANCES OF TRISTAN TZARA'S COMPLETE WORKS

January 1, 2004

Tzara statistics

Just as for Paul Éluard's complete poems and André Breton's Complete Works, the reader is here gratified with computer outputs treating Tristan Tzara's Complete Works, formerly published by Éditions Flammarion, still available.

I once digitized the complete text, except for volume VI, deemed too disparate, for my personal use. The whole should have entered the public domain in 2016, if the soap merchants had not convinced the legislator to extend this deadline to 70 years.

This does not prevent me from submitting the digitized text to the various lexicometric tools graciously made available to us by our colleagues Etienne Brunet, André Salem, etc. For consistency with the thus constituted whole, I used Hyperbase, the tool developed by Etienne Brunet (University of Nice). More precisely, Windows 10 sowing chaos in the treatments I submitted to the machine, I had to ask for assistance from the author of this product. I thank him for having lent himself to the game, and for having accepted to submit to the new modalities, while producing data similar to those we provided for Eluard and Breton.

Thus the reader will be able to compare the alphabetical index, the high frequency index, the hierarchical index of one and the others.

In a good spirit of scientific cooperation, it would be appropriate for researchers working on these corpora to share their discoveries with us. We will be happy to bring them to the attention of our readers.

At a time when we are daily flooded with statistics of all kinds, concerning political discourse as well as the war against viruses, it would be paradoxical for literary scholars to abstain from developing their numerical and statistical approaches to texts.
