Informational and Structural Analysis of Speech

Informational Analysis of Speech

From the boundedness of a body or representative set of texts where the speeches are written, the role of the analyst involves cutting and grouping words that are attributed relationships and meanings associated with a category or semantic fields, previously agreed upon by the researcher, analyzed based on other texts: newspapers, letters, diaries, school essays, etc. These are containers or continents where to locate and isolate the information relevant to the study.

This system is linked to methods of content analysis (Laswell and Osgood studies on public opinion, 1st half of the twentieth century).

Localization and purification of a semantic group can check quantitatively (counting) the frequency of the information contained in the text. Statistical analysis joins as a fundamental part of a process in which the word is the basic unit of analysis operating in a text and next to what other terms do.

To the extent that expressions are repeated over a selected text corpus, the analyst can build relationships or correlations between corpus semantic approaches that support the semantic value of the manifest content of any text.

General idea: The method of content analysis is an analytical procedure that could be located midway between the quantitative and qualitative, since on the one hand, the method necessarily operates in quantitative terms (verbatim account of facts) and on the other, does informational material on quality of discourse (communication) for discourse is that information can be analyzed quantitatively literally must be seen as a set of words turned into signals whose presence or absence is crucial to award them a sense of information (binary value (0-1), whether or not it within the category and the categories can be studied together and also the individuals with each other).

Half measures between quantitative and qualitative, reductive and simplistic way of understanding the speech methodically go sorting allowing some of the limitations or problems of content analysis, such as bringing the text omits the presence of the speaking subject which is the attributes the intentional meaning.

On the other hand, though the speaker is not present whenever the text refers to an instance of enunciation (individual, group, or collective) from establishing social relationships: family, friends, work, etc. Content analysis ignores the communicative dimension to bind only to the informational dimension of this process; their role ends with the semantic description of the textual content ignoring the intent and context.

So this kind of analysis is appropriate for those descriptive research which seeks to know certain information stereotyped or from a standard set of texts previously bounded. For example: on the news link the consumption of drugs to criminal acts.

Structural Analysis of Speech

To study this, we use a study released by the Mexican government about structural poverty and program implementation Pronasol.

The campaign was conducted and programs through age 6, and divided into 4 stages, each of which is changing the concept statement for the different ads that are mainly for radio and television and whose main theme was Solidarity, hence the name National Solidarity Program. In the first 2 stages, the program and achievements I wanted are mainly released, and 2 subsequent stages are focused on enjoyment and affirmation of the achievements alcanzados.y the launch of spontaneous anti-poverty initiatives.

In the 1st phase will include:

  • The achievement of water and wastewater.
  • The paving of the streets
  • Improving schools.
  • Regularization of land
  • Electrification of the barrios.

To convey the message through various codes (verbal and nonverbal), e.g., using the color code or absence of color depending on whether the city or in rural areas and depending on whether or not the textual message to be conveyed, not clean-clean, e.g., Do you want an apple? (bright red and desirable), – then wash your hands! So grooming is associated with collection of cool prizes., As compared to other codes, such as the legalistic behavior is desirable for land management, property deeds, recording, ..
