Description
Summary:This case study introduces a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative textual analysis and computational text analysis. Following the advent of the internet and social media, a wide range of social and political phenomena have developed an online aspect. However, the vast volume of internet data renders many qualitative analysis methods infeasible. This approach provides a way to describe the general pattern within large text corpora and select a manageable subset for further analysis. The approach is applicable to a wide range of research that utilizes text data.
