Basic data for this project
Type of project: Participation in BMBF-joint project
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/05/2012 - 30/04/2015
Description
Within the bounds of this interdisciplinary collaborative project between Information Systems, Communcation Sciences and Computer Linguistics, we develop methods to minimize the existing limitations of the time and cost-intensive content analysis of Social Media Content. Various types of Social Media are analysed using a prototype software and then structured on a macro level. An analysis of sentiments and the qualities of discourses which delivers insights into opinions and discourse dynamics on a micro level is extended by a combination of automated and manual procedures. By doing so, we are able to obtain new methodological insights into humanities and social sciences.
