John Benjamins, 2001 — (Human Cognitive Processing). — vi, 363 pp. — ISBN: 90-272-2360-2 / 1 58811 077 X.The focus of this book 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.Text representation as an interface between language and its users
