Description
Mapping Texts: A Practical Introduction to Computational Text Analysis for Social Sciences
This book offers a step-by-step guide to conducting text analysis projects, focusing on social science questions and applications. By working with the metaphor of mapping texts, researchers can create reductions of the text to document patterns, rather than searching for meaningful information in large datasets.
With a focus on reproducible workflows and using the R statistical computing environment, this book covers all facets of a text analysis workflow, from understanding language theories to advanced techniques. It is suitable not only for social scientists but also for anyone interested in conducting text analysis projects.
