Obama’s 2nd Press Conference – Semantic Network Analysis
As I did with one previous performance by President Barack Obama, I’m uploading a real semantic network analysis of the president’s press conference from tonight. This was done using the transcript and the Leximancer semantic network analysis software. I took out the questions and Obama calling names.
The circles represent themes. The larger the circle and the more centrally located, the more central was the theme. Themes that are closer to each other were more closely associated in the answers than other themes.
