Your Qeuestion

Hello, when using KH Coder to analyze Spanish language corpora, according to the handbook, Chasen or noun phrase options can be utilized. However, when I intend to use these functions, the options are grayed out. Consequently, in the co-occurrence network, names such as "Donald Trump" are recognized as separate entities. How should this issue be addressed?

For the second question, the co-occurrence analysis in KH Coder is currently based on the entire corpus or on thematic coding. How can I extract a few words to perform a co-occurrence analysis? For example, if I want to extract co-occurrences of related terms with "Jack Ma" throughout the entire corpus and also ensure that all articles are associated with "China," what steps should I take? I have read through the handbook but haven't found a solution.

"Word Clusters" function is currently only for Japanese and English.

Please try the following procedure:

1. In the menu of KH Coder, go to "PRe-Processing", "Select Words to Analyze"
2. Type "Donald Trump" into the "force pick up" field and click "OK"
3. Run the pre-processing again

"Donald Trump" would be extracted as "donald_trump".

If I were you, maybe I will try the following procedure.

1. Extract articles that contains the word "China"
2. Using the extracted articles, find the words related with "Jack Ma" by "Word Association" function
3. Using the words you found, create a coding rule file like:

*Jack Ma
'Jack Ma'

*Word1
word1

*Word2
word2

4. in the menu of KH Coder, go to "Tools", "Coding", "co-occurrence network" and specify the coding rule file

Hello, thank you for the detailed instructions, but I feel that this answer might not solve my problem. I read an English article on corpus research using KH Coder：
This section presents a co-occurrence network analysis of vaccine brands in three corpora. The co-occurrence network analysis of KH coder can be visualized based on a pre-defined coding rule. Since this study is to identify the key topics/themes
associated with the vaccine brands, the top two key vaccine brand names in each corpus are selected from the keyword list generated from Wordsmith 7.0. Sinovac and Sinopharm in CD are selected, as they rank 21st and 22nd in the keyword list. Sinovacand BioNTech in SCMP are chosen, which rank 14th and 17th respectively in the keyword list. In NYT, Pfizer and Johnson are selected, and each ranks 15th and 16th in the keyword list. A coding rule is thus compiled which contains three codes: *CD vaccine brands (Sinovac, Sinopharm), *SCMP vaccine brands (Sinovac, BioNTech), and *NYT vaccine brands (Pfizer, Johnson). To ensure these codings are related to vaccine, a direct code “vaccine” is specified in the search entry. While keeping all the other default settings, a co-occurrence network is visualized by extracting all the words having strong connections with the pre-defined coding rules. The strongly co�occurring words are connected by edges and are plotted into clusters differentiated by colors.

If I follow the steps you described regarding Jack Ma, I don't believe I can obtain the result shown in the figure below,

. However, although I have got the coding scheme of this papaer(

I still don't understand the specific operations. Could you possibly assist me?

If you have any analysis results that you would like to reproduce, please indicate them from the beginning.

Anyway, how about this procedure:

1. In the menu of KH Coder, go to "Tools", "Words", "Word Association"
2. Select "or" instead of default "and"
3. Enter "word1 word2 word3" in the search field.
4. Click "Run"
5. Click "Network"

For more details, please refer to section A.5.7 of the reference manual.
