Description
Summary:The statistical analysis of vocabulary distribution in French tourist guides of the 19th and 20th century reveals the essential descriptive terminology used in these texts. A more structured interpretation of this data is made possible by way of co-occurrence methods that produce associated word maps describing the preferred usage of nouns, adjectives, adverbs etc. regarding a given town, region or route. Based on this original visualizing of word structures we will consider the convergence of lexical and cartographic data in a GIS-type database (Geographic Information System).
