Tóm tắt

Much research in text planning has been oriented towards identifying the rhetorical component of communication knowledge that allows for the structuring of coherent multi‐sentential or even multi‐paragraph text. However, several researchers have recently found rhetoric‐based top‐down approaches to be inadequate for their particular needs. In this paper, we explore the issue by introducing the concept of “domain communication knowledge” as a new analytical tool. By analyzing two existing rhetoric‐based text planners, and by closely analyzing a particular genre, namely reports, we conclude that domain‐specific knowledge about communication is pervasive and should be represented explicitly for the text planning task.La plupart des travaux de recherche dans la planification de textes ont été orientés vers ľ identification de la composante rhétorique de la connaissance de la communication, qui permet de structurer de manière cohérente un texte à phrases ou à paragraphes multiples. ?autre part, plusieurs chercheurs ont récemment constaté que les approches descendantes basées sur la rhétorique ne convenaient pas à leurs besoins particuliers. Dans cet article, les auteurs examinent la question en utilisant un nouvel outil analytique, soit le concept de 〈〈 connaissance du domaine reliée à la communication 〉〉 En étudiant deux planificateurs de textes existants et an analysant de très près un genre particulier, soit des rapports, les auteurs concluent que la connaissance spécifique du domaine à propos de la communication est subtile et devrait faire ľobjet ?une representation explicite pour la planification de textes.
