תקציר	LIWC (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count) is a dictionary-based text-analysis method that counts the proportion of words in a text falling into psychologically and linguistically meaningful categories — such as positive emotion, cognitive processing, social references, and function words like pronouns. Developed by James Pennebaker and colleagues, it has become a workhorse for quantifying the psychological and rhetorical character of communication at scale.	Semantic network analysis represents the meaning of a text or corpus as a network of concepts connected by their co-occurrence or grammatical proximity, then uses network-analytic measures to reveal which ideas are central, how concepts cluster, and how shared meaning is structured. In communication research it is the standard way to map the conceptual architecture of media coverage, organizational discourse, and public conversation at scale.
