Parsing the Continuum: Manual Segmentation of Monologic Data

Abstract: Segmentation is a crucial step in analyses of qualitative data where code or code co-occurrence frequencies are of interest. Decisions about how best to segment are inextricably connected to coding decisions, as well as wider analytical goals and research questions. These decisions directly affect resulting models and the interpretations derived from them. However, while there is a wealth of frameworks guiding code development and application, far fewer guidelines exist for segmentation. This paper reports on … Show more

“…Succinctly 7 , ENA produces a matrix with code co-occurrences and calculates the co-occurrence frequency of each unique pair of codes within a given segment of data. Segments are designated by defining utterances (smallest codable pieces of data) and creating groupings of those utterances to provide meaningful context, that is, “relational context” 24 . ENA uses two parameters to operationalize relational context: conversation and stanza window.…”

“…Another limitation of our study concerned the use of categorical values (narrative foci codes) to delimit data segments. Although this technique is a viable option to group lines for code co-occurrence computation [16], there are challenges involved, such as how to address multiple categorical values exhibited in a single line of data (e.g., the sentence contains two narrative foci: Self and Others). Our coding decision was to employ chronological order, that is, apply the narrative foci code that appeared first in the sentence.…”
