This book discusses the application of various statistical methods
to texts, rather than numbers, in various fields in behavioral
science. It proposes an approach where quantitative methods are
applied to data whereas previously such data were analyzed only by
qualitative research methods. To emphasize the quantitative aspects
of semantics, and the possibilities of conducting scientific
interferences, the book introduces the concept of statistical
semantics and presents the reader with a subset of techniques found
in that domain. More specifically, the book focuses on methods that
allow the investigation of semantic relationships between words,
based on empirical corpus data. It shows the reader how to apply
various statistical methods on texts, for example statistical tests
to ascertain whether two sets of text are statistically different,
ways to predict variables from text, as well as how to summarize
and graphically illustrate texts. Thus, the book presents an
accessible hands-on introduction to a selection of techniques,
indispensable for cognitive psychologists, linguists, and social
psychologists.
