An elaboration of the technique will be presented here. Sentences are split up into nuclear sentences, which are predicating something about the relation between meaning objects. Meaning objects might be political actors, empirical variables, attributes or abstract philosophical notions such as `the good' or `the world'. By uttering nuclear sentences, meaning objects are associ… Show more

“…Network approaches have been applied to the study of semantic memory and association processes (Chang, 1986;Collins & Quillian, 1969;Flores-d'Arcais & Schreuder, 1987), information retrieval algorithms and systems (Savoy, 1992), citation analysis (Callon et al, 1983;Danowski & Martin, 1979;Lievrouw et al, 1987;Rice & Crawford, 1992), content analysis of traditional and computer-mediated communication (CMC) media (van Cuilenburg et al, 1986;Danowski, 1982), and responses to open-ended survey questions (Carley & Palmquist, 1992;Rice & Danowski, 1993). Semantic network analysis using CATPAC has been applied to understanding positioning of candidates and issues in presidential debates (Doerfel & Marsh, 2003) and the structure of interests in the International Communication Association (Doerfel & Barnett, 1999), among other topics.…”

“…Since 1994, Communication Scientists at the Free University and the University of Amsterdam have conducted an extensive study of the influence of the media coverage of Dutch electoral campaigns on public opinion, most recently in Nov. 2006 [3]. These studies were based on the NET method, an RCA framework introduced in [4].…”

“…In dit artikel baseren we ons op het nieuws van acht dagbladen - (Kleinnijenhuis et al, 2007b) is het nieuws geanalyseerd met de NET-methode (De Ridder, 1994; Van Cuilenburg, Kleinnijenhuis & de Ridder, 1986). Deze methode is een vorm van relationele inhoudsanalyse; voor meer informatie over relationele inhoudsanalyse, ook wel semantische netwerkanalyse, en de NET-methode zij verwezen naar overzichtboeken zoals Krippendorff (2004), Popping (2000) en Roberts (1997).…”
