ABSTRACT

This paper aims to introduce the psychological language analysis programs, Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count(LIWC) and Korean LIWC(KLIWC) into humanities research(e.g., history and literature). Given that humanity research focuses on language for conducting analysis and identifying findings, there may be diverse research topics to which the researchers can apply the language analysis programs. It is important to evaluate which research topic can be suitable for the application of the programs and how the application can make theoretical and practical contributions to the field of humanities. In this sense, this paper examines how literature researchers and history researchers can analyze language using the programs as a new method.
