LIWC software

LIWC (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count) is a software tool that analyzes text to identify emotional, cognitive, and social themes based on the words used. It works by scanning written or spoken content and categorizing words into psychological and linguistic groups, such as positive or negative emotions, thinking styles, or social engagement. This helps researchers and professionals understand underlying feelings, attitudes, or mental states reflected in text. LIWC is widely used in psychology, marketing, and social sciences to gain insights into communication patterns and emotional expression.
