INTRODUCTION One of the greatest remaining challenges in the study of tropical cyclone is to understand and predict their formation from weak cyclonic disturbances. In the western tropical Pacific, although many previous studies pointed out the participation of large- and synoptic-scale cyclonic disturbances in tropical cyclogenesis (e.g., Sobel and Bretherton 1999; Dickinson and Molinari 2002; Fu et al. 2007), little is known about mechanisms governing their transformation into a deep warm-core vortex.

Four different quality categories from Wikipedia were chosen, from the total amount of eight, to ensure gathering of a representative sample, for each category there are fifty sentences, the total amount of the sentences altogether is, therefore, two hundred. The sentences will be analysed according to the Firabsian theory of functional sentence perspective in order to discriminate differences both between the quality categories and also within the categories.
