Spatial distribution of narrative structures through text network analysis. In this research we are looking for structural similarities and discrepancies in various types of texts in order to see what are the correlations between the types of the texts we study and the patterns they produce.The analysis includes mythlogical texts, such as The Bible and Quran, literary texts, such as Nabokov's "The Gift", "War and Peace", "Alice in Wonderland", journalist articles, political speeches, manifestos, hypnotic suggestions, philosophical texts and much more. In this research we discovered that mythological discourse tends to circlulate between several few key concepts, supported by narrative loops and relatively homogenous word clusters. Journalist articles tend to have several (usually two or more) distinct loops of meaning circulation, which produce antagonism within the text, a supernetwork through which the meaning can be created by introducing several interacting contexts within the same text. Finally, poetry and prose are on the other side of the spectrum, characterized by loosely dispersed islands of meaning resulting in networks that have lower connectivity.Future research: aligning it with perception, combining several texts together, dynamics, comparative analysis.
