Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Departing radically from traditional content analysis approaches to the quantitative study of texts, this work is based on a linguistic theory of narrative, rather than the ad hoc approaches of context analysis. The book illustrates a set of tools--story grammars, relational data models, and network models--that can be profitably used for the collection, organization, and analysis of narrative data in socio-historical research (e.g., narratives of strikes, demonstrations, lynchings, and riots).

Synopsis:

This book illustrates a set of tools - story grammars, relational data models, and network models - that can be profitably used for the collection, organization, and analysis of narrative data in socio-historical research (e.g. narratives of strikes, demonstrations, lynching, riots).

Synopsis:

From Words to Numbers departs radically from traditional content analysis approaches to the quantitative study of texts. It is based on a rigorous linguistic theory of narrative, rather than the ad-hoc approaches of context analysis. Furthermore, it sows words through an elegant mathematical thread. Finally, it has engaged narrative structures dominated by the metaphors of the 'journey' (from words to numbers) and the 'alchemy' (words into numbers).

Synopsis:

This book offers a a way to analyze narrative data in socio-historical research.
