Dear Xanat do you have access to SPSS and have you worked with it? Lately SPSS has become more capable handling texts. A procedure listed below should enable you to do the job. Use it with the compute statement to create variables indicating the keywords are present or not. Similar things can be done in R. SPSS manual: CHAR.SUBSTR. CHAR.SUBSTR(strexpr,pos[,length]). String. Returns the substring beginning at character position pos of strexpr. The optional third argument represents the number of characters in the substring. If the optional argument length is omitted, returns the substring beginning at character position pos of strexpr and running to the end of strexpr. For example CHAR.SUBSTR('abcd', 2) returns 'bcd' and CHAR.SUBSTR('abcd', 2, 2) returns 'bc'. (Note: Use the SUBSTR function instead of CHAR.SUBSTR if you want to use the function on the left side of an equals sign to replace a substring.) Hope this gets you on your way Maurice On Fri, Jun 9, 2017 at 7:05 AM, Xanat Meza <kt_designbox(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > Is there any available software where I can input a list of keywords and a > long text composed by several sentences (or paragraphs), and the output > gives me the keyword count per sentence/paragraph? > Regards, Xanat V.

New Open Access Book: Social Media in South India
by Major, Alison 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

*****Apologies for any cross-posting***** UCL Press is delighted to announce the publication of a brand new open access book that may be of interest to readers of this list, Social Media in South India. Download it free from https://goo.gl/venXV4 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Social Media in South India Shriram Venkatraman Download free: https://goo.gl/venXV4 ----------------------------------------------------------------- This title is available in both free open access (PDF) and print editions (paperback, £15.00 | hardback, £35.00). One of the first ethnographic studies to explore use of social media in the everyday lives of people in Tamil Nadu, Social Media in South India provides an understanding of this subject in a region experiencing rapid transformation. The influx of IT companies over the past decade into what was once a space dominated by agriculture has resulted in a complex juxtaposition between an evolving knowledge economy and the traditions of rural life. While certain class tensions have emerged in response to this juxtaposition, a study of social media in the region suggests that similarities have also transpired, observed most clearly in the blurring of boundaries between work and life for both the old residents and the new. Venkatraman explores the impact of social media at home, work and school, and analyses the influence of class, caste, age and gender on how, and which, social media platforms are used in different contexts. These factors, he argues, have a significant effect on social media use, suggesting that social media in South India, while seeming to induce societal change, actually remains bound by local traditions and practices. Download free: https://goo.gl/venXV4 ----------------------------------------------------------------- About Why We Post Why do we post on social media? Is it true that we are replacing face-to-face relationships with on-screen life? Are we becoming more narcissistic with the rise of selfies? Does social media create or suppress political action, destroy privacy or become the only way to sell something? And are these claims equally true for a factory worker in China and an IT professional in India? With these questions in mind, nine anthropologists each spent 15 months living in communities in China, Brazil, Turkey, Chile, India, England, Italy and Trinidad. They studied not only platforms but the content of social media to understand both why we post and the consequences of social media on our lives. Their findings indicate that social media is more than communication - it is also a place where we now live. This series explores and compares the results in a collection of ground-breaking and accessible ethnographic studies.

literature on theory and big data in social sciences
by Tom van Nuenen 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

Dear researchers of the Internet, I'm looking for literature that deals with the relations between theory and method in the social sciences in an age of big data and the supposed 'end of theory'. Data is increasingly likely to be a starting point for social scientists investigating the digital world, but what does this mean for theory, method and the relations between them? Any information and literature would be very welcome. Many thanks in advance! Best regards, Tom van Nuenen Assistant Professor Online Culture
