How do I analyze word frequencies?

Word Frequencies is a useful tool for when you want to determine which words occur most often in your data. This information is used for content analysis or for quickly finding data containing desired keywords.

To use Word Frequencies:

  • select the documents or document groups you want to analyze
  • alternatively, you can select codes, code groups, or desired quotations to refine your analysis

The tool will analyze the selected data and return the results in the form of a word cloud, a tree map, or a word list. You can modify the view by selecting the desired visual in the toolbar.

There are several options to modify the Word Frequencies analysis:

  • select which parts of speech you wish to include in your analysis
  • select the minimum count for words to be included in your analysis
  • ignore case (i.e., uppercase, lowercase)
  • infer base forms
  • choose to include all words, exclude words from a stop list, or include words from a go list

Word Frequencies results can also be exported as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or PNG image, depending on the visualization you use.
