Lear Linguistic Model (LLM)

The Lear Linguistic Model (LLM) is a computational linguistics tool that scores how “mad” a passage feels in King Lear, based on patterns in coherence, imagery, and diction, and summarizes that as a Madness Score with three stylistic dimensions.

1 · Choose Act & Scene, then highlight text
Input
Scene text · drag to highlight
Highlight a span of the scene above (click + drag). If nothing is highlighted, the entire scene will be analyzed by the model.
2 · Madness score & linguistic features
Output
– –
0 = psychologically stable · 100 = extremely disturbed / unmoored
Choose an act & scene, highlight a passage, then run the model.
