Summary/Abstract: By utilizing lexicometric analysis of a study corpus to describe the way literary discourse functions and how the culinary imagination is constructed through gourmet literature, the components required to conduct pragmatic analyses of the discursive structures unique to this kind of discourse can be identified. In this paper, we investigate how computational methods might be used to find important phrases and semantic relationships in a collection of French short stories. Using Tropes and AnaText software, we verify reference universes that stand out as repeating themes in the corpus texts, starting from the premise that there is a substantial frequency of words belonging to the culinary lexicon in narrative gourmet writings.
