Preferred term

text analysis  

Definition

  • Text analysis constitutes a variety of social science research methods designed to ascertain meaning and bring structure to large amounts of unstructured information derived from different acts of communication embodied in written language. As such, text analysis differs from observation-based methods in that the acts in question have already taken place. [Source: Encyclopedia of Measurement and Statistics; Text Analysis]
