  3. Yoshikoder: Building Dictionaries • Dictionaries contain categories and patterns • Categories are general terms that patterns fall under • Patterns are the words that are actually searched when performing a word count • Wildcards are allowed • Employ* will search for “employ,” “employment,” “employed,” etc. • The name of the category must be included as a pattern if the user wishes for it be searched

  4. Yoshikoder: Rationale • Our purpose was to analyze news reports on the Republican primary debate that occurred on 9/22/11 • Transcript of the debate was compared with three other news sources • Cleveland Plain Dealer • San Jose Mercury News • CNN • Specific rationale was to compare the issues reported on by each outlet to all the issues presented at the actual debate

(all documents need to be highlighted all at once) Dictionary Report: Applies the dictionary to the current selected document. Document Comparison: Applies the dictionary to two documents and compares the results. Statistical Comparison Report: Compares risk ratios for category proportion differences in two documents.
