Content Analysis

The Macro-Etymological Analyzer

Formerly a web based app, the Macro-Etymological Analyzer is now available as a Command-line app. It is used for text analysis. It will look up every word of your text in the Etymological Wordnet, and generate statistics about the macro-etymology of your text, organized by language family. For instance, it can analyze a novel and tell you the proportions of words of Anglo-Saxon origin, or of Afroasiatic origin. First-generation and second-generation language ancestor data is included, and the output is highly granular, allowing the scholar to see the origins of individual words, and statistics about each ancestor language. This data can be useful as a particular type of topic modeling, since some macro-etymological data have have been correlated with particular genres, as well as the ages and sexes of their authors and/or speaking characters. For more details, read the introductory blog post and see these example experiments.

Scrapy

Scrapy is an open source programming library for web crawling and web page text extraction, written in Python. You can make calls to Scrapy code from within your own scripts and applications to automate the task of extracting data from websites. You would typically use Scrapy to automate the task of visiting one or more web pages, on a website to which you have access. You could alternately use it to invoke web-based Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Scrapy can download everything it encounters or selected information. One of its capabilities is being able to extract structured data from web pages, such as one or more individual pieces of text from specific locations on the page, or all of the data in a table.
