Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to show the utility of the application of a non-ultrametric tree-model to textual data. The first part introduces a basic topological property of the tree and the notion of neighbourhood, which reflects the structure of the tree. The second part emphasizes through illustration examples the adequacy of this model for representing different varieties of textual data.
