Abstract :
[en] In the field of the Analysis of Textual Data (ATD), the researchers are interested in the relation
between the text and its format of exploration. In the last years, the evolution of the computer
science profoundly modified our relationship to the text, leading to the development of new
tools and analytical criteria. In this theoretical context, the concept of polyangular reading
completes the notions of linear, reticular or matrix readings. This approach of the text became
possible thanks to the always more powerful tools of corpus’ edition proposed by text analysis
environments, such as Hyperbase Web Edition. The polyangular reading principles rely both on
the corpus based concepts and on the corpus driven concepts. It aims to multiply the partitions
of the corpus to show as precisely as possible the thread of the textual fabric. This new method is
then illustrated by two examples from the Latin bases developed by the LASLA of the University
of Liege.
