We summarize here our main results and the perspectives on productive future research in digital humanities they have opened. The ten individual contributions in this volume converge into three major avenues of research that examine a) the importance of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and the new methodology we developed in the PhraseoRom project for a linguistic and stylistic analysis of contemporary literature; (b) the viability of using statistically significant expressions and textual motifs in identifying literary subgenres; and, (c) the comparison of these expressions and motifs in English and French literary subgenres.
