Unitization | Break up the text corpus into meaningful sense units. Name each unit using keywords that could represent it. |
Categorization | Group the sense units into categories and sub-categories which will be explained based on and theoretical framework and empirical studies. |
Self-organization | Create a descriptive-interpretative new text (metatext) taking account on the emerged categories bringing up new understandings of the phenomenon studied in order to make it as comprehensible as possible to the reader. |
