INTRODUCTION Computer software and its application in literary and linguistic studies a re the various softwares that facilitate

literary and linguistic studies and its actual application. Computer software and its application such as software and application soft ware which also has sub-division such as operating system, programs that do real work for users, for example word processors, spreadsheets and data management system s fall under the category of applications software. System software consists of low-level programs that act with the computer at a very basic level. These inclu de operating applications software also called user programs includes operating systems, compliers, and utilities for managing resources. In contrast, applicati ons software also called user programs includes database programs, word processo rs and spread sheets. Relatively speaking, application software sits on top of s ystems software because it is possible to run without the operating system and s ystem utilities. The above is a brief downloads of computer software and its application. Ther efore computer software and its application in literary and linguistic studies c an be traced to the effect of the computer applications above, which has helped in the improvement of literary and linguistic studies.

Computer software and its application in literary and linguistic studies star ted way back as the systematic study and analysis of literature date back to the beginning of literary text production , even the earliest form of oral literature we e practiced in a context of descriptive and prescriptive aesthetics. With the ri se of written literature emerged a canon of rules that could be applied to text in order to evaluate a canon of rules that could be applied to text in order to evaluate its adherence to poetic norms and values, and very quantitative and qua litative methods of text analysis exegesis. But the analysis of literature is tr aditionally seen as a subjective procedure. The first computer assisted studies of literature of the 1960s and 170s used the potential of electronic mechanism for precisely three purposes- the identificat ion of strings and patterns in electronic texts. Wordlists and occurrences were initially printed in as books both later made available in electronic format, to o, helped scholars come to terms with all occurrences of observable textual feat ures. The complete sets of textual data of some few works of literature suddenly became available to every scholar. It was no longer acceptable, as John Burrows pointed out, to ignore the potential of electronic media and to continue with t extual criticism based on small sets of examples only, as was common usage in tr aditional literary criticism. Literary computing was seen to remedy the short coming, and it has provided su bstantial insight into some questions of style and literary theory. Most studies on patterns and themes that were published in the last twenty years question co ncepts of text and method, and by investing literature with the help of a powerf ul tool these studies situate themselves in a context of meta-discourse: the que stion of method remains at the heart of most electronic analysis of literature The history of literary computing however shows that only a limited number of textual phenomena can be analyzed profitably in the context of quantitative and qualitative computer-based analyzed profitably in the context of quantitative a nd qualitative computer based analysis or style. These phenomena has to link to some surface features that can be identified by electronic means. Computers are exceptionally well suited for this kind of analysis, and only human intuition an d insight in combination with the raw computing power of machines programmed to

act highly specialized electronic tools can make some text or textual accessible to scholars as SUSA HOCKEY. The question of style and literary theory has been solved by what is known li terary computer which has remedy change to literary and linguistic study. Some p owerful tools in software application has made it possible for literary computin g to be efeective and has made it become possible and the proliferation of prima ry text in electronic form has contributed significantly to the purpose of avail able digital text. In other for literary computing to be successful it need to u se techniques.

SOFTWARE: PHONETIC ANALYSIS Alteru Phono: this is open-source software for developing and testing models of regular phonetic sound changes, simulating the diachronic evolution of a word. I ts rules are developed using the common combination of features such as point of articulation and vowel roundness. PHONE: software tool for creating and testing models of regular historical soun d change. This version (4.1) runs on windows (version 3.3 was for DOS). SOFTWARE: Transcription EXMARALDA: a system and toolset for creating, managing and analyzing corpora of transcriptions of spoken language. Consist of an editor for transcriptions in mu sical sure notation, a corpus manager and a search tool. IPA Now! Software: this is a powerful yet simple tool that automatically trans cribes Latin, Italian, and German and French texts into International Phonetic A lphabet (IPA) symbols by applying rules utilized by scholarly lyric diction text book. Phonetic Builder: a simple to use and free application to insert phonetic chara

cters into your documents, worksheets or lesson plans. It can also be used to correctly format pinyin for insertion into documents. Software: concordance Concordance- the Program: flexible text analysis software. Lets you gain better insight into e-texts. Make concordance, words lists, indexes, and count word fr equencies, find phrases and more software: software directories. SOFTWARE: As a tool for literary A analysis. The PC is not a new tool to most u ndergraduates of literature. 1. Using a word processor for Analysis, student Word processing software enables the poem, play or other work and move thr ough the text. A. finding Occurrences and themes

- Search for an entire phrase; proverbs, clichs, eponyms, allusions are all possibilities e.g. Sherlock Holmes - Search for punctuation marks e.g. studying the function of questioning in nove ls. B. Testing theories: this search can also be used to test literary theory and to determine whether objective evident exists in a significant form to suppo rt fro the text. C. Discovering thematic Shapes: the search ability of word processors also enable students to discover the shape or distribution of a theme in a work by d ividing the work in to equal segments or by using predefined segments such as ca ntos or chapters D. Specialized Searches: students can also perform a number of specialized searches by reading a text carefully and marking it in various ways with their editing or word processing software. II Using Grammar and Style Checkers: the various grammar and style checkers p rovides other information about texts that may be useful for comparing and exami ng texts. A. Analysis the particulars of Discourse: many grammar and style checkers provides other information about texts that may be useful for comparing and exam ining texts. B. Readability Analysis: This programme can be useful for some kinds of tex tual analysis by proving statistics, average length, average number of syllables per word etc. III: Using Speciality Software A. Discovering Thematic Shapes II

The location and plotting of word distributions mentioned using a word process or in a partially manual process is performed automatically by MTAS (Micro TextAnalysis System) MTAS allows the user to enter up to 100 words that are used in connection with a theme. The user can also select the size of the segments to be used. The program will then search the text, count in each segment all the occu rrences of the words in the search word list, and then graph the result. B. Collocations: some search and analysis programmes, like TACT have a col locate function that locates and displays all the words used within a defined pr

oximity to a given search words. C. Diction and Linguistic Studies: several programmes allow students to inv estigate word usage and other linguistic building blocks. Grammatik can produce a list of words and their frequency of occurrence in a text up to about 10,000 w ords long, allowing the student to calculate the number and percentage of unique words used .B.E EXE, calculate the percentage of words in Basic English. Also t he programme Micro-Eyeball produces a large set of statistical description usefu l for linguistic analysis.

CONCLUSION We have been able to see how computer software and its application has helped in the growth of literary and linguistic studies both in the written and spoken form of literature as it is known that the spoken form also has a light trace t o use of computer software and its application. The linguistic studies have to d o with analysis and human intuition and insight which can be traced to computer from the work above were able to see the proper use of computer as it concerns t he literary and linguistic studies.
