This document discusses different types of mapping that can be used to visualize information structures in writing. It describes mind maps, which link ideas through associations without representing information structure. It also describes Information Structure Maps (ISmaps), Concept Maps (Cmaps), and Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) mapping, which aim to represent the underlying rhetorical, argument, and information structures in a text. The document suggests that these mapping techniques can help readers understand how ideas are organized and related in a text.

- 4. Matching mapping styles to writing structures Representations of the information structures underlying the structures in writing: Mappers make Rhetorical structure maps Argument maps, Cmaps Information Structure maps Association maps (mind maps) Sentence diagrams Writers use Rhetorical structure Argument structure Information structure Idea clusters Sentence order

- 11. Mind map links are associations: they have no character* ? *no character means no information structure

Abstract The internationalisation of currencies is a topic that has received substantial attention following the recent inclusion of the currency X in the International Monetary Fund’s Special Drawing Rights. Although currency internationalisation is fundamentally an outward-oriented policy goal, there is a tendency to link it exclusively to capital account liberalisation and domestic financial deregulation; this has shifted debate on the subject in a more inward-oriented direction. The present paper seeks to reconcile these two perspectives by demonstrating how currency internationalisation hinges critically on international liquidity provision. Proceeding on the assumption that international currencies, both as a matter of historical experience and macroeconomic logic, are associated with current account deficits, the argument is made here that international liquidity provision depends crucially on economic structural and international institutional conditions. This paper demonstrates how an economy’s position within the international monetary system and regional supply chains shapes its development path and mode of production, which in turn become important determinants of its currency’s international profile. Then the historical experience of the Japanese yen is applied to the case of internationalisation of currency X, and the resulting analysis suggests that internal rebalancing towards greater domestic consumption and external rebalancing towards higher imports will be required if the international role of currency X is to expand.

- 19. RST mapping www.sil.org/~mannb/rst/ RST links are rhetorical devices. Bill Mann’s Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) uses various sorts of "building blocks" to describe texts. There are 31 main relations in RST mapping. Rhetoric mapping Info-structure mapping Syntactic mapping Grammar mapping (pseudo) Association mapping
