The book concentrates on the methodological and practical issues of coding and handling data including sampling, reliability and validity issues. It focuses on three main approaches to text analysis: lexical, semantic and network. The author: provides an overview of the background and concepts in the field; introduces newer developments; and looks at the relationship between content analysis and other kinds of text analysis. The work concludes with an appendix of computer programmes for text analysis.
