2. Aims

●          Design and development of a corpus of texts from the 14th to the 21st century in French.

●          Morphological, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic labelling.

●          Automatic processing of meaning and discursivity.

●          Localisation of deixis and discourse markers

●          Identification, extraction and analysis of networks

●          Composition of electronic dictionaries

●          Development of methodological and IT tools to automate or semi-automate the above analysis work.

●          Transfer of results to society: human relations, mediation, education, economics, robotics, etc.

3. Theoretical framework

●          General argumentative and enunciative linguistics (LAE, Tordesillas)

●          Argumentative and enunciative discourse analysis (ADAE)

●          Argumentative and enunciative semantics (SAE, Tordesillas, 1992, 1994, 1998, 2002)

●          Argumentative and enunciative grammar (GAE, Tordesillas, 1996 and 2002)

●          Argumentative and enunciative didactics (DAE, Tordesillas, 2000, 2006 and 2008)

●          Discourse analysis, semantics and pragmatics.

●          Theory of argumentation in language

●          Theory of enunciative polyphony

●          Mother tongue and foreign language acquisition

●          Linguistic terminology

●          Corpus linguistics

●          Computational linguistics

4. Methodology

●          Determine the topico-polyphonic, dynamic, multiversal and growing discursive fabric.

●          Describe the composition and semantic-pragmatic design.

●          Identify the nuclei of discursive activity and action in interaction.

●          Observe activity through topico-polyphonic discursive synthesis and projection and discursive action through topico-polyphonic discursive synthesis and instruction.

●          Access the nuclei at several levels: firstly, synthesisation-projection (secondly, topical-polyphonic and polyphonic-topical); condensation-instruction (secondly, topical-polyphonic or polyphonic-topical).

●          Analysing the discursive combinatorics of nuclei: discourse form as a result of meaning.

●          Applying semantic-pragmatic labelling to discourse/text

●          Identify discursive combinatorics, vibrations and equations, to give an account and propose a calculation of meaning.

●          Concretising results, socio-cultural and ideological commonplaces as linguistic foundations.

5. Innovation

●          Genuine interdisciplinarity between computer engineering, artificial intelligence and semantic and pragmatic theorisation.

●          New language engineering, focused on the automatic formulation of the subjectivity of language, in its entirety.

●          Corpus characteristics: quality, exhaustiveness, heterogeneity, dynamism, labelling, extraction, measurement, identification, marking, implicature, sincerity, hesitation and commitment in discourse.

●          Dictionary characteristics: unlimited number of entries, type of discourse definition based on networks, speed, efficiency, usefulness, versatility, permeability, etc.

●          Applicability of results to other disciplines and scientific fields (communication, psychology, psychiatry, neurology, robotics, engineering, advanced technology, automatic processing, etc.).

●          Social usefulness (citizenship, mediation, dialogic interaction, human relations, doctor-patient relations, etc.) and professional usefulness (communication, mediation, politics, international relations, economics, etc.).

Generally speaking, it can be said that this is a scientific necessity; that it constitutes a powerful form of socio-cultural progress; that it is a basis for innovation and transfer for the progress of the knowledge society; that it implies a major development for communications, physics, advanced technologies and medicine; that it enables the continuing education of teachers and students; that it offers new prospects for employment and the future.
