  abstract  = {The majority of approaches to author profiling and author identification focus
	mainly on lexical features, i.e., on the content of a text. We argue that
	syntactic and discourse features play a significantly more prominent role than
	they were given in the past. We show that they achieve state-of-the-art
	performance in author and gender identification on a literary corpus while
	keeping the feature set small: the used feature set is composed of only 188
	features and still outperforms the winner of the PAN 2014 shared task on author
	verification in the literary genre.},
