    El objetivo de este artículo es esbozar una posible metodología para la clasificación automática de textos que permita la discriminación temática, como paso previo a la asignación de casos nuevos de textos a temáticas previamente establecidas. Dicha clasificación/asignación temática se implementa mediante el análisis discriminante y se sustenta en una serie de parámetros lingüísticos de fácil obtención, con el fin de reducir costes computacionales.

    The aim of this paper is to sketch a potential methodology for automatic text classification which allows text topic discrimination as a prior step to new case assignment to previously established text topics. Such case assignment will be performed by means of Discriminant Function Analysis based on a series of easily-computable linguistic parameters, in order to reduce computational costs.
