Semantic Analysis and Text Processing: Logical Foundations of Editing

Description
In a complex and multidimensional editorial and publishing business, a significant place is occupied by those assessments and transformations of manuscript material, which in the aggregate can be called semantic or editorial processing of the text. The study of the methods of organization and the transfer of thought on which work is based on an expressive word involves not only a generalization of the accumulated editorial experience, but also the use of a number of special disciplines, which include logic.
This book discusses various issues of semantic processing of the text in the editorial business using the principles of logic. Among them are logical rationing of the text and logical errors, semantic units of text and semantic connections between them, certainty and consistency as semantic properties of the text, the problem of argumentation, some types of text structures and some operations with the text.
The book is recommended for editors and publishers who want to improve their logical analysis skills, students of editorial and publication faculties of printing institutions and faculties of journalism of higher educational institutions
