Go Word Lists

What are Go Word Lists?

Go Word Lists are essentially the opposite of Stop Word Lists. Stop Word Lists contain words that MAXQDA excludes from analysis, while Go Word Lists include only the words counted in the analysis.

Manage Go Word Lists

To create or edit a Go Word List, go to MAXDictio > Go Word List. The window that opens offers the same functions as the one for Stop Word Lists, except that there’s no separate Go Word List for word clouds.

You’ll find a full explanation of all features in the Stop Word Lists section.

Use Go Word Lists for analyses

MAXDictio lets you apply Go Word Lists in the following analyses:

MAXDictio > Word Frequencies > Word Frequencies (Only Go Words) – The results table includes only the word frequencies from the currently selected Go Word List (see Word Frequencies for Words in the Go List).

MAXDictio > Keyword-In-Context – When you select "Search for... > Search items of go word list," MAXQDA searches for the words in the currently selected Go Word List across all texts and shows them in context (see Keyword-in-Context).
