摘要	Longitudinal Content Analysis (LCA) applies systematic content analysis to documents, media, or texts sampled at two or more time points in order to detect how themes, frames, language, or discourse patterns change or persist over time. Drawing on the established logic of content analysis, it adds a temporal dimension that allows researchers to chart trends, trace the evolution of representations, and test hypotheses about historical or social change. It is widely used in communication research, political science, media studies, and the health sciences.	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.
