Communication Patterns and Textual Forms - Graziella Tonfoni

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.
