Topic Modeling

Topic modeling is another popular approach to connoting the aboutness of a corpus. If the study carrel could be summed up in a single word, then that word might be a07495, and Evangelium regni = A joyful message of the kingdom : published by the holy Spirit of the love of Jesus Christ, and sent forth unto all nations of people which love the truth in Jesus Christ / set forth by H.N. ... ; translated out of Base-Almayn. is most about that word.

If the study carrel could be summed up in three words ("topics") then those words and their significantly associated titles include:

1. a07495 - The Family of Love
2. god - A survey of the spirituall antichrist opening the secrets of familisme and antinomianisme in the antichristian doctrine of John Saltmarsh and Will. Del, the present preachers of the army now in England, and of Robert Town, by Samuel Rutherfurd ...
3. yields - A faithful discovery of a treacherous design of mystical Antichrist displaying Christs banners, but attempting to lay waste Scriptures, churches, Christ, faith, hope, &c. and establish paganism in England. Seasonably given in a letter to the faithful in and near to Beverley. Containing an examination of many doctrines of the people called Quakers in Yorkshire, together with a censure of their way, and several items concerning the designs of God, Satan, and men, in these things, recommended to the consideration of them who are in good earnest for Christ.

If the study carrel could be summed up in five topics, and each topic were each denoted with three words, then those topics and their most significantly associated files would be:

1. a07495, xml, id - The Family of Love
2. god, christ, spirit - A survey of the spirituall antichrist opening the secrets of familisme and antinomianisme in the antichristian doctrine of John Saltmarsh and Will. Del, the present preachers of the army now in England, and of Robert Town, by Samuel Rutherfurd ...
3. roman, untill, papers - A faithful discovery of a treacherous design of mystical Antichrist displaying Christs banners, but attempting to lay waste Scriptures, churches, Christ, faith, hope, &c. and establish paganism in England. Seasonably given in a letter to the faithful in and near to Beverley. Containing an examination of many doctrines of the people called Quakers in Yorkshire, together with a censure of their way, and several items concerning the designs of God, Satan, and men, in these things, recommended to the consideration of them who are in good earnest for Christ.
4. feeds, stars, reproofs - A faithful discovery of a treacherous design of mystical Antichrist displaying Christs banners, but attempting to lay waste Scriptures, churches, Christ, faith, hope, &c. and establish paganism in England. Seasonably given in a letter to the faithful in and near to Beverley. Containing an examination of many doctrines of the people called Quakers in Yorkshire, together with a censure of their way, and several items concerning the designs of God, Satan, and men, in these things, recommended to the consideration of them who are in good earnest for Christ.

Moreover, the totality of the study carrel's aboutness, can be visualized with the following pie chart:

Noun & Verbs

Through an analysis of your study carrel's parts-of-speech, you are able to answer question beyonds aboutness. For example, a list of the most frequent nouns helps you answer what questions; "What is discussed in this collection?":

xml, pc, p, pos="n1, man, word, grace, >, faith, men, life, pos="n2, pos="vvi, love, flesh, l, scripture, sinne, cs, law, way, a., things, day, light, ▪, heart, truth, nothing, time, works, spirit, sin, sense, power, death, spirituall, sinnes, thing, letter, glory, obedience, service, world, p., r, people, scriptures, nature, saints

An enumeration of the verbs helps you learn what actions take place in a text or what the things in the text do. Very frequently, the most common lemmatized verbs are "be", "have", and "do"; the more interesting verbs usually occur further down the list of frequencies:

is, be, are, have, was, were, say, had, according, come, being, know, said, make, made, beleeve, did, lemma="i, see, written, teach, called, let, do, take, hath, bee, give, preached, lemma="your, justified, live, doe, set, given, am, deny, taught, s, came, brought, done, bring, lemma="by, love, been, read, sent, judge, saved

Proper Nouns

An extraction of proper nouns helps you determine the names of people and places in your study carrel.

id="a07495, w, god, christ, pos="acp, pos="d, spirit, law, pos="vvb, pos="j, lord, pos="pns, c., pos="n, lemma="be, gospel, xml, pos="po, sp, lemma="the, unit="sentence"/, pos="cc, /p, pos="vvz, saltmarsh, 〉, speaker, antinomians, luther, lemma="and, pos="pn, ●, 〈, b., ◊, h., pos="av, b, c, hath, pos="vvn, lemma="a, lemma="of, pos="vmb, holy, cor, pos="crq, lemma="i, rom, doe

An analysis of personal pronouns enables you to answer at least two questions: 1) "What, if any, is the overall gender of my study carrel?", and 2) "To what degree are the texts in my study carrel self-centered versus inclusive?"

his, it, they, he, we, our, i, their, them, us, him, my, me, you, thy, themselves, your, himself, its, her, thee, she, who="a07495-purge, ye, ours, theirs, s, one, mine, †, u, lemma="gull, vp, lemma="thyself, yow, vnto, p, f, ‡, b, yours, yee, w, tollit, o, l, hers, e, ''s, ●

Below are words cloud of your study carrel's proper & personal pronouns.

Adjectives & Verbs

Learning about a corpus's adjectives and adverbs helps you answer how questions: "How are things described and how are things done?" An analysis of adjectives and adverbs also points to a corpus's overall sentiment. "In general, is my study carrel positive or negative?"

id="a07495, pos="n1, same, true, unit="sentence">.

not, so, then, now, also, onely, more, even, yet, up, therefore, forth, as, most, ever, away, never, thus, out, only, here, that, is, well, very, all, in, much, there, rather, no, again, thereof, at, first, namely, likewise, once, lemma="master, therein, on, perfectly, together, lemma="which, just, else, down, fleshly, †, otherwise
