ABSTRACT:
A method employing the art, science, and technology of cartography to decode and comprehend graphic language texts. Improved reading and writing proficiency and efficiency may be realized by mapping a graphic language textscape (c.f. landscape). A textscape may be mapped with regard to typography, graphic or phonetic attributes of selected graphic features, meaning or usage of selected graphic features, statistical analyses of the attributes, meaning, or usage of selected graphic features, or semantic, rhetorical, compositional, thematic, or conceptual configuration. Two or more textmaps may be compared by sequential display, juxtaposition, superimposition, or animation (rapid sequential display). Elements of two or more textmaps may be combined either selectively or wholesale to produce a new textmap. Textmapping may be practiced in any scale, in up to four dimensions. Textmapping may be practiced directly upon a text, as well as indirectly, off to the side or on a separate surface, for example. Textmapping may be practiced as a manual process, such as by using a pencil to map a text in a hardcopy format (i.e. computer printout, book, magazine, etc.), or it may be practiced as an automated process, such as by using a computer to map a text which has been stored in digital form.
