Description
1. INTRODUCTION Written texts of uncertain authorship attracted the attention of numerous experts from different fields, mostly linguists and literary theorists whose research focused on many famous literary works of uncertain authorship, with the aim of establishing the authenticity of the author and his oeuvre. Relentless studies and searches of texts for the hallmarks of an author's linguistic style, expressions and usage of certain words or metaphors, did not fail to yield results. However, fast technological development in the last fifteen years enabled stylometrists to develop different methods of authorship identification on the basis of a given text. Those methods include mathematical tools, statistical methods and artificial intelligence methods, the result of which is specialized software for text analysis and authorship identification, but also for intentional concealment of a document's authorship. Initially, stylometry was mostly applied in literature and other fine arts. Most stylometrists began their research on certain widely known texts, such as Catholic epistles, ancient Greek and Latin texts, the plays of Shakespeare and Marlowe, and the Federalist Papers (Mosteller & Wallace, 1964), a series of 85 articles published anonymously in 1787 and 1788, advocating the ratification of the new Constitution of the United States of America (Klarreich, 2003). The hypothesis examined in the paper is that stylometry will become more important over time due to the frequency and significance of communication in the realm of the economy and politics. Analyses of anonymous texts from various sources will be crucial for gaining any kind of advantage, be it political or economic, all within business intelligence as a modern form of protection. The paper is based on the project entitled "031-2/2008 Research Into Matters Warranting, Economically and Situation-wise, Adaptive Restructuring of an Organization in a Dynamic Environment" University of Zadar, Department of Economics, Centre for Economic Research, MER-Evrocentar Slovenia, 2008, and is the continuation of earlier research into the concept of terotechnology within the study of organization and business intelligence protection (Belak & Cicin-Sain, 2005).
