Sentiment weighting:
In our experience, qualitative text analysis is far more effective—and ‘mixed methods’
—when not only are codes/themes applied to tag and subsequently count  meaningful content or words/phrases (unless you are a certain kind of linguist, of course!), but when the ‘value’ of each application is further is tracked and understood. This is where code weighting by sentiment comes in.
