Sumario:This research explores the convergence of fractal information theory and fractal geometry within computational linguistics. It also examines the application of the NooJ tool for structural analysis. The study posits that fractal analysis in computational linguistics offers a framework understand language as an intricate, self-similar, and dynamic system. Patterns recur at multiple scales, such as phrases within sentences and sentences within paragraphs. Fractal analysis uses methodologies to identify non-normal distributions and long-range dependencies textual data. NooJ leverages finite-state technology to parse large corpora and construct linguistic resources, such as lexicons and grammars. Although NooJ primarily functions as a finite-state machine, its ability to manage recursive graph structures, particularly recursive transition networks, makes it suitable for analyzing fractal structures
