Sintesi	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.	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.
