Özet	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.	Automated content analysis is the computational measurement of text features at a scale impossible by hand, using natural-language processing and machine learning to classify, scale, or discover the content of large corpora. Synthesized for the social sciences by Grimmer and Stewart's 2013 'Text as Data,' it spans supervised classification, unsupervised discovery, and scaling, all unified by the principle that automated methods augment but do not replace careful human judgment and validation.
