ABSTRACT
This paper focuses on a method for the stylistic segmenta-
tion of text documents. Our technique involves mapping the
change in a feature throughout a text. We use the linguistic
features of conjunction and modality, through taxonomies
from Systemic Functional Linguistics. This segmentation
has applications in automated summarization, particularly
of large documents.
