Synthesis of Systemic Functional Theory & Dynamical Systems Theory for Socio-Cultural Modeling

Abstract

The overall research plan of this multiyear project is to apply methods and principles of dynamical systems theory (DST) to base data derived from systemic functional theory (SFT) analysis of text and multimedia resources, with the aim to identify and track evolving patterns, in particular those related to stability and instability. The goal of the project is to develop theory and algorithms, and demonstrate their validity and potential with case studies. Progress toward that goal, including reports of six case studies. What has emerged from analyses available to date is essentially the confluence of particular linguistic choices with respect to content and text production.
