Application

Having trouble explaining to people exactly what I intend to do with a text analysis program in the context of a course in college writing, I made this audio, to be heard in conjunction with this video.

Download the audio. Click on the video link. Stop the video. Start the audio. Then restart the video when I tell you to (on the audio).

The link to the text analysis program in question, TextSTAT is here

Update (11/8/05): This demo's for Dr. B!

    I'm taking it slow.

    Today I showed my Advanced Comp classes the TextSTAT program and generated a frequency list from one of their papers.

    I think I heard an "Ooo!"

    I did give them an assignment to compare papers on the basis of shared words / difference contexts, but I offered it cautiously, as one option among three, for their next paper.

    We'll see if any rise to the occasion.
