This book brings together linguistics and psycholinguistics. Text
representation is considered a cognitive entity: a mental construct
that plays a crucial role in both text production and text
understanding. The focus is on referential and relational coherence
and the role of linguistic characteristics as processing instructions
from a text linguistic and discourse psychology point of
view. Consequently, this book presents various research methodologies:
linguistic analysis, text analysis, corpus linguistics, computational
linguistics, argumentation analysis, and the experimental
psycholinguistic study of text processing. The authors compare, test,
and evaluate linguistic and processing theories of text
representation.

A state of the art volume in an emerging field of interest, located at
the very heart of our communicative behavior: the study of text and
text representation.
