Sammanfattning	Sentiment analysis is the automated estimation of the valence — positive, negative, or neutral tone — of communication messages, adapted from natural-language processing into a core measurement technique for media and communication research. It lets scholars quantify the tone of news coverage, the affect of social-media discourse, or audience reactions across corpora far too large for hand coding, while treating tone as a measurable, validatable construct.	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.
