This chapter proposes a method of text analysis that combines conceptual aspects from the model of scalable or zoomable text (z-text), topic modelling and fractal geometry.
This chapter proposes a method of text analysis that combines conceptual aspects from the model of scalable or zoomable text (z-text), topic modelling and fractal geometry. It argues that this type of methodology may assist in detecting different levels of generality and specificity in texts and reveal some characteristics of the assemblage of blocks of text, above the word level, at different scales of representation. Applications of such an approach can range from hermeneutics and discourse analysis to text (and possibly z-text) generation and summarization.
