Map of textuale patterns in research article of protection of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata)

Abstract

This paper aims to explore textual patterns of research article of protection of cabbage
(Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata). The theoretical construct for the analysis is provided by
concept of message semantics as defined in Systemic Functional linguistics. In the study, the
specificity of discourse analysis is combined with tools of corpus analysis. The linguistic
features of texts which would be difficult to keep track of by manual tagging are recorded by
the automated part-of-speech tagger for Slovenian developed at the Institute of Slovenian
language at ZRC SAZU and the graphic display is used for the presentation of data. The
graph functions as a sort of map and as such becomes the starting point for the description of
the discourse structure of research article.
