CONLIT

This dataset includes derived data on a collection of ca. 2,700 books in English published between 2001-2021 and spanning twelve different genres. The data was manually collected to capture popular writing aimed at a range of different readerships across fiction (1,934) and non-fiction (820). Genres include forms of cultural capital (bestsellers, prizewinners, elite book reviews), stylistic affinity (mysteries, science fiction, biography, etc.), and age-level (middle-grade and YA). The dataset allows researchers to explore the effects of audience, genre, and instrumentality (i.e. fictionality) on the stylistic behavior of authors within the recent past across different classes of professionally published writing.

本数据集包含约2700册英文图书的衍生数据，相关书籍出版于2001年至2021年间，涵盖12种不同图书品类。本数据集通过人工采集构建，旨在收录面向多元读者群体的通俗创作作品，其中小说类1934册，非小说类820册。本次收录的品类涵盖文化资本类作品（畅销书、获奖作品、权威书评作品）、风格倾向类作品（悬疑小说、科幻小说、传记等）以及受众年龄层级类作品（中级少儿读物与青少年读物（Young Adult））。本数据集可为研究者提供分析基础，用于探索近年不同类别专业出版作品中，读者群体、图书品类以及工具属性（即虚构性）对作者创作风格行为的影响。
