What is Text Analysis?

Text Analysis, using the tools available through the HTRC, allows researchers to quickly analyze a large number of documents (more than a human could read, and faster). Some questions that can be answered using text analysis would be:

• What are these texts about?
• How are these texts connected?
• What emotions (or affects) are found within these texts?
• What names are used in these texts?
• Which of these texts are most similar?

These questions can be addressed using techniques such as finding word frequencies, performing topic modelling, or performing named entity recognition
