תקציר	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.	Manifest content analysis is a quantitative research technique that systematically counts the explicit, surface-level features of communication messages — words, sources, themes, images, or actors that are directly visible in the text or media artifact — according to a predefined coding scheme. Rooted in Bernard Berelson's classic definition of content analysis as the 'objective, systematic, and quantitative description of the manifest content of communication,' it is one of the foundational empirical methods of mass communication and media research.
