Spatial discourse production: Applying denis’s framework to non-urban context

Abstract

This study applies the framework proposed by Denis [5] to analyze the structure and content of online alpine route directions. It first describes methodological challenges associated with the process of generation and classification of propositions in the context of rich spatial discourse. Further, it compares results to previous studies, suggesting that the discourse structure reflects the role of locomotion in mountaineering. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the importance of applying the framework to domains and discourses that go beyond urban route directions.
