T.A.P (Text Analysis Program)

T.A.P (Text Analysis Program) was a program for literary analysis developed in the 1970s at Emory University. It could also generate concordances and word-frequency lists, measure types and tokens, and show collocates for key words defined by the user. T.A.P. was developed in Assembly Language for Emory's UNIVAC Spectra 70/17.

The Macro-Etymological Analyzer

Formerly a web based app, the Macro-Etymological Analyzer is now available as a Command-line app. It is used for text analysis. It will look up every word of your text in the Etymological Wordnet, and generate statistics about the macro-etymology of your text, organized by language family. For instance, it can analyze a novel and tell you the proportions of words of Anglo-Saxon origin, or of Afroasiatic origin. First-generation and second-generation language ancestor data is included, and the output is highly granular, allowing the scholar to see the origins of individual words, and statistics about each ancestor language. This data can be useful as a particular type of topic modeling, since some macro-etymological data have have been correlated with particular genres, as well as the ages and sexes of their authors and/or speaking characters.
