TAPA is able to code both words and single characters in a text. By default, you will receive this output:
Filename: The name of the file being coded
WC: Word Count
WC_WordsRemoved: The word count after words have been removed from your stoplist
CharCountTotal: The total number of characters in the file (only if coding for characters)
CharCountCoded: The total number of characters in the file that were coded by your dictionary file (only if coding for characters)
WordsWithCodedChars: The total number of words in the text that contain characters that were coded by your dictionary file (only if coding for characters)
AvgWordLength: Average number of characters per word
DictWords: Number of words in text that were coded by your dictionary
Word_Valence_Count: Total number of words in text that had an associated “Valence” score from the dictionary
Word_Arousal_Count: Same as the previous one, except for “Arousal”
Word_Dominance_Count: Same as the previous one, except for “Dominance”
Word_Valence_Avg: The average “Valence” score for your text, averaging across all words that were coded by your dictionary
Word_Valence_Sum: The sum of “Valence” scores for your text across all words that were coded by your dictionary
Note that things like “Valence” and “Arousal” are just examples from the built-in dictionary file. If you load a dictionary file with different word properties, those will be used instead of the built-in word properties.
