With the ever increasing amount of data directly accessible by end-users one needs to find new ways of reviewing and managing vast quantities of textual information. The techniques of lexical analysis can extend the effectiveness of research by aiding the rapid reading and interpretation of large texts via lexical approximation and textual data analysis.

In this work a proposal for automatic textual segmentation is described. The proposal uses the output of an automatic syntactic analyzer – Parser Palavras – to create textual segmentation. Parse trees are used to infer text segments and a dependency tree of the identified segments. The main contribution of this work is the use of the syntactic structure as source for the automatic segmentation ...
