Communication Patterns and Textual Forms
Communication Patterns and Textual Forms (Book)
This book provides a systematic, scientific explanation of natural language as well as the author's Communicative Positioning Program and Text Representation Systems (CPP-TRS) framework.
The framework is a visual language based on a highly articulated Theory of Text Comprehension and a related Theory of Text Compression, and is presented in a way that is both accessible to an audience not familiar with it yet informative for those who are. The approach considers natural language as an information state, reflecting its inherent complexity.
The book proceeds towards the organising of a theoretical framework, based on a new way of viewing language, in terns of a Quantum Linguistics based on quantitative and qualitative reasoning about communication via natural language.

Foreword. Empirical and concephtal foundations. Relation of theory to observation. A "new" framework. A new way of thinking about language: from texture to text. Text Representation Systems. A quantum theory of language. A qualitative communication framework. The "user" becomes "chooser". What if a camera was a human eye? The textual pentagram. Nuclear energy in text processing. The scientist needs to feel
responsible for both theories and applications. Self-observation as a scientifically supported procedure. Some important previous assumptions. Some very important background. On redefining "text". Consistency in new terminology. A productive distinction: deep vs surface. Active energies in text processing. The "Program". Designing all possible applications. A theory of language must be able to work. On cognitive self-reflection. A highly reliable system for operating text. Bridging the gap between Art and Science.
