This study involved an examination of the discourse of the coming out process through a corpus linguistic analysis involving keyness and collocation of academic journals. The academic journals include those that cited the Cass’s (1979) and D’Augelli’s (1994) coming out models. A corpus linguistic software program named #Lancsbox 6.0 was utilized to analyze the keywords and collocates of the cited literature related to the two coming out models. The registers for the study and reference corpus were academic writing and the sub-register included peer-reviewed articles. The research questions were created to help identify words used more in articles citing the Cass and D’Augelli models. In addition, we aimed to identify the most common collocations of the term “out” in both the Cass and D’Augelli models. The results indicate the strongest key words were “lesbian,” “out,” and “gay,” “students,” “gender,” and “identities.” The strongest collocates to the word “out” were “coming,” “process,” “their,” “coming,” “conversations,” and “process.” In response to these findings, several implications for counseling and research were developed.
This research study involved an examination of the film The Matrix as related to transgenderism through a corpus linguistic analysis involving Language Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC). The writers and directors of the film have confirmed that The Matrix is about the transgender transition process and this research was conducted to analyze this result. The software used to analyze the textual data for this study is the (LIWC) program. There were 12 variables present in this study, including psycholinguistic, linguistic, and psychological. The corpus was the film script of The Matrix (Wachowski et al., 2001) and the reference corpus was the Action Movies 1999 Corpus. The research questions involved an analysis of the usage rate of broad psycholinguistic, linguistic, and psychological processes in movie script for The Matrix. In addition, we attempted to identify if differences in linguistic processes exist between The Matrixand movies overall and movies released during that period overall. The results indicate that the highest standard score was for the variable Clout and the greatest score difference was noted for Analytic. In addition, the highest score for a linguistic variable was for 2nd person pronouns and the highest encountered psychological variable was insight. Finally, the greatest linguistic variable difference encountered was for 1st person singular and the greatest psychological variable difference encountered was for the word male. In response to these findings, several implications for counseling and research were developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
