Word Association Thematic Analysis: A Social Media Text Exploration Strategy (Synthesis Lectures on Information Concepts, Retrieval, and Services)

Many research projects involve analyzing sets of texts from the social web or elsewhere to get insights into issues, opinions, interests, news discussions, or communication styles. For example, many studies have investigated reactions to Covid-19 social distancing restrictions, conspiracy theories, and anti-vaccine sentiment on social media. This book describes word association thematic analysis, a mixed methods strategy to identify themes within a collection of social web or other texts. It identifies these themes in the differences between subsets of the texts, including female vs. male vs. nonbinary, older vs. newer, country A vs. country B, positive vs. negative sentiment, high scoring vs. low scoring, or subtopic A vs. subtopic B. It can also be used to identify the differences between a topic-focused collection of texts and a reference collection. The method starts by automatically finding words that are statistically significantly more common in one subset than another, then identifies the context of these words and groups them into themes. It is supported by the free Windows-based software Mozdeh for data collection or importing and for the quantitative analysis stages. This book explains the word association thematic analysis method, with examples, and gives practical advice for using it. It is primarily intended for social media researchers and students, although the method is applicable to any collection of short texts.

Word Perfect Schritt für Schritt: Für alle Versionen bis einschließlich Word Perfect 4.2

WordPerfect wird mit einem umfangreichen und ausführlichen Handbuch ausgeliefert, so daß sich die Frage stellt, was wird eigentlich mit einem weiteren Buch über WordPerfect bezweckt? Die Textverarbeitungsprogramme, die seit Ende der siebziger Jahre ent­ wickelt wurden und allmählich Schreibtische und Sekretariate eroberten, haben eines gemeinsam: eine Vielfalt an Funktionen, die - zumindest beim Kennenlernen des Programms - unübersehbar scheinen. Beim Blät­ tern im Handbuch fällt auf, daß die Verfasser in ihrem Streben, jede nur mögliche Funktion des Programms darzustellen, zu weit gegangen sind. Wichtiges und Unwichtiges steht nebeneinander. Oft gebrauchte Funktio­ nen sind von weniger oft benötigten nicht abgehoben. Hier soll zunächst einmal die Spreu vom Weizen getrennt werden. All jenen, die noch immer nicht vom Segen eines Textverarbeitungspro­ gramms überzeugt sind - und das ist nach wie vor die Mehrzahl der Journalisten, Autoren, Sektretärinnen, Angehörige freier Berufe - sollen in leicht verständlicher Form die Vorteile von einem Personal Computer in Verbindung mit einer leistungsfähigen Textsoftware, wie WordPerfect es ist, kennenlernen. Meiner Meinung nach - und ich glaube, daß ich auch im Namen all de­ rer sprechen darf, die ein Textverarbeitungsprogramm benutzen - sind die Zeiten der guten, alten Schreibmaschine ein für allemal vorbei. Der Umstieg von einer elektronischen Typenradschreibmaschine auf ein Textsystem (Personal Computer/ Bildschirm / Drucker / Textprogramm) ist ebenso einschneidend, wie der Umstieg von einer mechanischen auf eine elektronische Schreibmaschine. - Ja, sogar noch einschneidender, denn der Komfort, den ein modernes Textverarbeitungssystem bietet, ist erst voll erfaßbar, wenn man eine Zeitlang damit gearbeitet hat.

Wording Robotics: Discourses and Representations on Robotics (Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics #130)

Robots challenge humans’ beliefs and expectations. Hence, regardless of whether they are the audience of a conference, the visitors of a lab, the citizens in general, some journalists, or the European Parliament, the first step in order to gain a better understanding of the field of robotics is obviously to consult the experts. Roboticists seem indeed to be in the best position to guide society in this matter, whether it is in the everyday life or within an official institution. Today however, there is a gap between the robots, as they are actually thought and built, and the intelligent and autonomous machines, as they are perceived by the society. How can we explain it? Do the words borrowed from the living organisms and used to describe robots play a role in the confusion about the status of the discipline of robotics? The texts gathered within this book focus on the problematic of wording robotics from various perspectives. They are the results of a unique interdisciplinary meeting gathering roboticists, linguists, philosophers and neuroscientists, the 4th Workshop of Anthropomorphic Motion Factory held at LAAS-CNRS in Toulouse on Nov 31st - Dec 1st 2017.

The WordNet in Indian Languages

This contributed volume discusses in detail the process of construction of a WordNet of 18 Indian languages, called “Indradhanush” (rainbow) in Hindi. It delves into the major challenges involved in developing a WordNet in a multilingual country like India, where the information spread across the languages needs utmost care in processing, synchronization and representation. The project has emerged from the need of millions of people to have access to relevant content in their native languages, and it provides a common interface for information sharing and reuse across the Indian languages. The chapters discuss important methods and strategies of language computation, language data processing, lexical selection and management, and language-specific synset collection and representation, which are of utmost value for the development of a WordNet in any language. The volume overall gives a clear picture of how WordNet is developed in Indian languages and how this can be utilized in similar projects for other languages. It includes illustrations, tables, flowcharts, and diagrams for easy comprehension. This volume is of interest to researchers working in the areas of language processing, machine translation, word sense disambiguation, culture studies, language corpus generation, language teaching, dictionary compilation, lexicographic queries, cross-lingual knowledge sharing, e-governance, and many other areas of linguistics and language technology.
