Stylometry is the application of the study of linguistic style, usually to written language. It has also been applied successfully to music, paintings, chess, and source code.

Stylometry is often used to attribute authorship to anonymous or disputed documents. It has legal as well as academic and literary applications, ranging from the question of the authorship of Shakespeare's works to forensic linguistics, and has methodological similarities with the analysis of text readability.
