NVivo is a possibility. I haven't used it for years but it was the top program for qualitative data analysis a while back. http://www.qsrinternational.com/products_nvivo.aspx _______ Dr. Natalie Harrower Manager, Education & Outreach Digital Repository of Ireland Royal Irish Academy 19 Dawson St., Dublin 2 www.dri.ie Twitter: @dri_ireland www.ria.ie The Royal Irish Academy/Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann Ireland's Academy for the sciences and humanities ________________________________________ From: Air-L [air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] on behalf of MC Cambre [mcambre@ualberta.ca] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 1:46 PM To: Dave Voelker Cc: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-L] Looking for CATA program for tweet analysis I am not sure what it is called but I know that linguists are using a software like that for corpus analysis. cc On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 2:57 AM, Dave Voelker <dvoelker@stanford.edu> wrote:
I'd like to know if someone can recommend -- or knows of -- any computer assisted text analysis (CATA) programs capable of applying predefined concept dictionaries (lists of words and phrases representing a concept) to large datasets of tweets. I'm referring here to traditional, conceptual, content analysis (social science), not the bottom-up, data mining methods (computer science) primarily being used to analyze big data. An example of the kind of program I'm talking about is the freeware Yoshikoder (http://sourceforge.net/p/yoshikoder/wiki/Home/), but I'm unable to open a large (~ 3 GB) text file of tweets with it.
