Description
McIntyre, D. and Z. Xu (PIs) and J. Lugea (Co-I) ‘Seeing the bigger picture: operationalising a model of human discourse processing for computer-based visualisation’. This project was internally-funded, bringing together Computer Scientists and Cognitive Stylisticians to develop a software programme based on Text World Theory, aimed at visualising complex discourse in court cases. As a test case, we applied the tool we developed, Worldbuilder, to the witness statements from Meredith Kercher's murder trial, resulting in several interdisciplinary outputs.
