Abstract

In this work, we take a linguistic knowledge approach to identify innovative language used to describe new entrepreneurial activity. Starting from the Theory of the Speech Acts, an innovative startup needs to express itself through an innovative language continuously upgraded, to describe processes and products. We use several levels of NooJ to process the type of knowledge presented in business documents to recognize new linguistic resources. This approach, based on Lexicon-Grammar (LG) framework, is extendible to every knowledge domain although we process business documents in Agri-food sector that more than others presents critical issues in knowledge management and representation. Regarding the results of our analysis with NooJ, we note that 10% of tokens retrieved are unknown words.
