the fourth and sixth papers are especially interesting I think. the fifth, i have issues with because I think that I've done it differently, but it might be because i don't use terms like hebbian type, instead i use more humanities oriented terms. In any case, i also still think that conceptual maps arise as much from usage as from analysis of the text, but that's just me. I'm happy someone else has time to do this kind of work though at least it is progress in the field.
