Les motifs : un outil pour la caractérisation topologique des textes

Abstract

In this paper, we will describe how “motifs” (“patterns”) can be used as a new conceptual tool for a topological caracterization of texts. We will first summarize the stages of our approach of textual topology, point out the main arguments in favour of such a formal representation of texts and stress the relevance of the concept of “neighborhood”. We will then show how the concept of “pattern” proves to be very useful to take into account, within the frame of textual topology-, the order of textual micro-structures (a main difference with other types of tools). At last, we will describe two applications based on syntactic “motifs” selected in a corpus of historical Latin texts.
