Résumé

This research proposes a novel paradigm for sentiment analysis, shifting the focus from post-linguistic classification to the emergent properties of emotion within language structure. The prevailing systems in this field depend heavily on lexical categories, statistical correlations, and semantic annotations. However, these systems frequently analyze emotions only after they have been transformed into formal labels. This approach often results in the loss of crucial structural information. In contrast, this work explores the notion that emotions emerge from recursive structural mechanisms inherent in linguistic systems, rather than being derived solely from isolated lexical items. This theoretical foundation draws parallels with principles observed in music, mathematics, and artificial intelligence, notably the recursive architectures in the work of Bach and Bartók, suggesting that emotional intensity arises from structured configurations. From this perspective, language is conceptualized as a recursive system, in which phonological recurrences, rhythmic organizations, deictic propagations, syntactic parallelisms, contextual networks, and topological relations all contribute to the generation of emotional gradients. Contributions are expected to explore the transition from linguistic observation to formal representation using a variety of methodologies, including quantum-mechanics-inspired computation, graph theory, symbolic artificial intelligence, information geometry, recursive systems, topological models, computational linguistics, and corpus-based environments such as NooJ. The aim is, then, to transcend conventional sentiment analysis by developing a comprehensive framework that elucidates the generation, propagation, organization, and computable representation of emotional structures, and to establish practical linguistic-engineering environments for empirical validation.
