2. Tool and method. Designed for information analysis, market analysis, sociological and political analysis, scientific text analysis, TROPES is a natural language processing and semantic classification program that ensures the relevance and quality of the analysis of the text. The program is developed by Pierre Molette and Agnes Landré, based on the works of Rodolphe Giglione. The Romanian version of this program was developed by Dan Caragea, through UEFISCDI, between 2009 and 2011, within the Strategic Projects, being constantly evolving. By opting for the TROPES program, we considered that using an already existing and tested software is much more advantageous in this situation, rather than building a new one, to which the broad access of teaching staff would be limited for subjective reasons, such as those commercial promotion, reserved advertising area, etc. Furthermore, the main screen of the program has a simple design, which allows the user to quickly orient himself in the designed work fields. The main functions of the program are the following: extraction of relevant information; qualitative analysis and classifications; chronological analysis; textual summary/contraction; natural language ontology manager; hypertext navigation. For version 8.1, the program includes a morphological dictionary the size of the Explanatory Dictionary of the Romanian Language (1998) and a semantic dictionary, with over 500 fields, grouped into 70 main thematic categories. In applying automatic discourse analysis I had in mind the discussions on the compositionality of discourse (Reboul, Moeschler 2001:186-190) and the conclusion that discourse "is nevertheless compositional, in the sense that it is made up of lower units" (Reboul , Moeschler 2001:190) ). Agr...... half of the sheet ...... of the following morphological classes: nouns, verbs (factive, stative and declarative), adjectives (subjective, objective and numbers), determiners (articles, prepositions, some pronouns) , connectives (conjunctions, relative pronouns), modals (adverbs) and personal pronouns. TROPES presents the words in morphological classes, indicating the number of occurrences and the percentage compared to the main category Works cited1.
