Análisis de datos textuales. Una primera aproximación

Abstract

This article presents some conceptual scopes that serve as criteria when choosing a specific strategy for the analysis of textual data. Specifically, a taxonomy is proposed for the different methodological alternatives existing in the analysis of this type of qualitative data. This taxonomy has three levels: the statistical analysis of textual data, the interpretative approach to the analysis of its content and the analysis of discourse. The taxonomy is a contribution to the systematization of the diverse proposals of textual data analysis and an orientation for its practical application.
