Non-hierarchical phenomena in texts

What are they

Problems

Theses: text is an OHCO: pragmatically, empirically, theoretically (equivalence classes, etc).

Problems: multiple hierarchies: genre and document type.

Genres and perspectives

These are basically document types.

Also "physical structure of a document.

But mixed with notions of use: corpus, critical edition, literary analysis.

At some point, genre membership texts are members in multiple, incompatible genres.

Genre is an insufficient analysis of the problem.

sentence and metrical structure.

perspectives: based on communities.

removes the "single OHCO"

OHCO-2

Each perspective determines a unique logical hierarchy.

so one type of analysis gives one hierarchical decomposition of a text.

ohco2.1 when overlap exists, then there is more than one perspective.

counterexample:

enjambment.

But actually, relations between levels occur all the time: grammatical, literary, physical, structural.

OHCO-3

Let's make perspectives be hierarchically related, and each will be an OHCO.

presupposition on perspectives, e.g. methods, theories, etc.

This makes a bit of a fix, but also doesn't work.

strikeouts, hypertext links, stories and narrative objects, tropes and allusions (other poetic objects), Discourse objects like topics, acrostics and other concrete literature.

collocations and ambiguities (linguistic objects).

Tables (where do they fit?)

What should we do with them?

apply theory to system design.

adopt the radical stance (hierarchy convenient, but incorrect).

summaryL:

multiple perspectives, grammatical, editorial, etc.

sub-perspectives

discontinuous objects (interrupted quotations, lists, speeches).

intependent objects,

segmentations
