Resumo	Topic modeling is an unsupervised technique for discovering the latent themes that run through a large collection of documents, representing each document as a mixture of topics and each topic as a distribution over words. In communication research it surfaces the issues, frames, and themes in news archives, social media, and political text at a scale no manual reading can match, with Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and the Structural Topic Model (STM) as the dominant variants.	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.
