leading question
precondition
all-in index for 6 selected plays:
Mean value (orange line) refers to the corpus as a whole
approach: the good old configuration matrix (Solomon Marcus, Manfred Pfister) – reinvented as 'segment matrix'
side note: corpus was limited to plays with more than 5 acts/scenes (left with 331 plays)
segment matrix for Goethe's "Iphigenia in Tauris" (1787)
blue box = character is present on stage in a given segment
segment matrix for Goethe's "Iphigenia in Tauris" (1787)
orange box = character is present in two subsequent segments (liaison des scenes)
