Résumé	Dictionary-based text analysis measures concepts in text by counting how often words belonging to predefined category lists — dictionaries — appear in each document. It is the workhorse lexicon method behind tools like LIWC and the General Inquirer, prized for its transparency and scalability: a category score is simply the share of a document's words that match the category's word list.	Sentiment analysis is the automated estimation of the valence — positive, negative, or neutral tone — of communication messages, adapted from natural-language processing into a core measurement technique for media and communication research. It lets scholars quantify the tone of news coverage, the affect of social-media discourse, or audience reactions across corpora far too large for hand coding, while treating tone as a measurable, validatable construct.
