Re:Show HN: Five Thousand Novels, Ranked by Vividness by jmenn on Tuesday July 10, 2018 @10:33PM (#17504020)
Apologies if this is mentioned and I missed it, but does this account for changes in word meaning or context over time? Earlier literature, such as Austen, could be considered “not-vivid” unless you’re clued in for particular hints/phrases. I’m thinking of, perhaps, the use of “Et cetera” for pudenda.
