NLP Dictionary Builder

Build and validate LIWC-style dictionaries for text classification.

Overview

Builds, validates, and refines custom NLP dictionaries for text classification, whether the target is sentiment, a theoretical construct, or another text pattern. Follows LIWC-style methodology, with morphological expansion, multi-word expression handling, false-positive auditing, and predictive-validity testing. Diagnostics show where the dictionary is over- or under-firing so you can revise before publishing.

When to use

• Measuring a theoretical construct in open-ended responses or social media text
• Building a custom dictionary when LIWC and other off-the-shelf tools don't cover your construct
• Auditing an existing dictionary for false positives before using it in a paper
• Testing predictive validity against a manual-coded subset before scaling to the full corpus
