Figurative Analysis as a Method for Text Diagnostics

The article examines the issue of the diagnostics of texts as objects of intellectual property. It discusses possible identification of a text as an information object.

A method is proposed for describing a text as the intersection of two planes of existence of semiotic objects—the plane of expression and the plane of content using the concept of the “figure,” a singleplane unit involved in semiosis.

The article considers the possibility of qualifying various figures within the framework of the graded opposition "system norm usage group communication individual communication process" as the basis for the diagnostic description of the text, and methods of figurative analysis of plans of expression and content using examples from expert research.
