As with processing, much of discourse mapping occurs “behind the scenes”. Part of message processing is generating a mental map of the relationships between pieces of information or ideas in the message. Typically, mental maps look like webs. While these maps are useful for thinking about and contextualizing information, they do not help with producing spatially-based discourse maps in an interpretation.
