Loceme
The term 'loceme' is used to describe linguistic elements in literary texts that suggest place or movement. This research is to identify locemes and assign them a typology. From this point they can be analysed using web technologies. Researchers can test their hypotheses on how the text operates using these interactive tools. Using web technologies such as CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL users can see rapid, visual presentations of the archaeology of the text, repeating their queries quickly and easily.

LOCUS & LOCI launch PHP string searches through a user's corpus. The default is the Pizan Middle French manuscript, London BL Harley Ms 4431. LOCI shows book acronyms to aid locating tomographic seams. Please try the filename: fs   for Froissart or js1 for Actes.

PDF MOBILE is the current conference research paper, presented at Liverpool & Nancy in 2009 under our BA-CNRS Joint Research Project.

GLISS links to the initial use of css to displace words of movement (locemes) in a sample text from Pizan.

ENCODE aims to show how the screen of a web-page can be used to display the spatial plans from the point of view of the I-narrator (l'énonciateur et ses plans spatiaux - Benveniste).

LOCEME is in development. Using LAMP technologies, I aim to distribute the spatial language across the screen display of a web-page using the 0 - 9 encoding diagram shown in ENCODE.
