Providing an up-to-date picture of the main methods for the quantitative analysis of text, this book begins by overviewing the background and the conceptual foundations of the field. The author then covers the traditional thematic approaches of text analysis, followed by an explanation of newer developments in semantic and network text analysis methodologies. Finally, he examines the relationship between content analysis and other kinds of text analysis - from qualitative research, linguistic analysis and information retrieval.
Computer-assisted Text Analysis focuses on the methodological and practical issues of coding and handling data, including sampling, reliability and validity issues, and includes a useful appendix of computer programs for text analysis.
Roel Popping taught statistics and methodology courses including text analysis at the Department of Sociology at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, until his retirement. His research interests included methodology, with a specialty in the study of agreement and in text analysis, its application in research on historical shifts in public opinion and values, primarily within the context of post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe, in decision-making of negotiation processes and in integrating scientific knowledge.
