Some text network analysis of The Guardian’s last article on the debates between Brown, Cameron, and Clegg. What’s interesting is how such analysis can reveal a certain agenda within the text. By mapping the text’s relationships using Automap and Gephi we create a discursive and emotive map of the text. It’s then interesting to see how the main concepts which exist within the text relate to the main “emotive clusters”. We can also find several “loops” within the text (these loops are subnetworks for meaning circulation) and see how they relate to the text network at large.
