Utilized automatic tagging software for assigning semantic field and part-of-speech tags.
Applied keyness calculation to tag frequency lists for extracting key domains.
Implemented the method in a web-based tool, Wmatrix, for comparing political manifestos.
Demonstrated that combining key words and key domains allows both macroscopic analysis and focused linguistic feature investigation.
Identified linguistic features that warrant further exploration in the context of political manifestos.
