	abstract = {In this essay, van Dalen-Oskam explores onomastics - the study of names in literature - through a quantitative lens. In the past, onomastics has been studied qualitatively using a small corpus. However, in this research initiative, van Dalen-Oskam considers the stylistics, use, and function of names in literature across a 20-year time period. This essay interrogates a corpus of 64 Dutch and English novels. van Dalen-Oskam uses case studies, graphics, and numerical data to launch arguments about the effectiveness of her techniques. Overall, van Dalen-Oskam cites cultural transfer, corpus size, accessing texts, and the lack of standards as the key issues she came up against in her research. In way of conclusion, van Dalen-Oskam suggests the creation of a customized, virtual research space to alleviate these issues. },
