Sintesi	Dictionary-based text analysis scores documents by counting how often they use words from a predefined, validated list — a dictionary or lexicon — tied to a concept such as sentiment, emotion, or a policy area. Each document's score is essentially the rate at which dictionary terms appear, so a corpus of speeches, news articles, or manifestos can be measured for tone or thematic emphasis quickly and transparently. It is the simplest and most interpretable family of automated content-analysis methods, and Grimmer and Stewart treat it as a baseline against which more elaborate text-as-data tools are judged.	Manifesto coding is the quantitative content-analysis methodology of the Comparative Manifesto Project (CMP/MARPOR) for measuring parties' policy preferences from their election manifestos. Trained coders break each manifesto into quasi-sentences and assign every unit to one of a fixed set of policy categories. Counting how often each category appears yields salience measures, and combining pro- and anti- categories produces position scores such as the left–right RILE index, giving comparable estimates of party positions across more than fifty democracies since 1945.
