Sammanfattning	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.	Content analysis is a systematic research technique for reducing text, visual, or media material into coded categories so that patterns can be counted, compared, and interpreted. Formalised by Klaus Krippendorff in his widely cited methodology textbook (latest edition 2018), the method sits at the boundary of qualitative and quantitative inquiry: it imposes structured, replicable coding on inherently meaning-laden material.
