A Formal Model to Support Discourse Semantic Landscape Analysis

Discourse Analysis is a broadly spread methodology in human and social sciences. The Evoq Software (Clarinval et al., 2018) has been developed to offer advanced support for a deep semantic analysis of discourse by providing intermediary transposition tools that allow the exploration of the semantic landscape underlying a discourse from multiple angles. This paper presents the formal knowledge model to support these functionalities development and ensure a strong coherence between multiple visualisations seen as so many intermediary transpositions of the same object.
