This paper provides an overview of methods of analysis of textual data by applying quantitative measures to two sets of texts. The first is a set of late 20th century Italian novels, and the second is a collection of articles published by four Italian newspapers in 2003-2007 at about the time of the anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child by the United Nations General Assembly (November 20th). The paper discusses strengths and weaknesses of the approach and tries to explain the reasons why analysis of textual data might be considered a useful tool to link traditional qualitative methods with modern interdisciplinary text mining techniques.

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of methods of analysis of textual data by applying quantitative measures to two sets of texts. The first is a set of late 20th century Italian novels, and the second is a collection of articles published by four Italian newspapers in 2003-2007 at about the time of the anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child by the United Nations General Assembly (November 20th). The paper discusses strengths and weaknesses of the approach and tries to explain the reasons why analysis of textual data might be considered a useful tool to link traditional qualitative methods with modern interdisciplinary text mining techniques.Pubblicazioni consigliate
