About WordCruncher

WordCruncher is a free software program used for text analysis, annotation, and comparison. Developed by a group of linguists at Brigham Young University, this program was originally designed for the study of religious documents of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. WordCruncher is currently overseen by the Digital Humanities Department of BYU, which has since expanded the software’s scope to enable users to process any large digitized text.

WordCruncher integrates a multitude of text analysis tools that help users search for words and phrases; study texts with bookmarks, highlights, and dictionaries; and analyze linguistic features.

These tools are tailored to various fields of study. Corpus users will find the array of tools for analyzing customized corpora or collections of text beneficial for linguistic analysis. Linguists and translators can use these tools to study context and compare across languages, while editors may benefit from tools that highlight trends in grammar and usage to inform their editing choices.

This user guide focuses on general tools that will enhance the experience of all WordCruncher users; however, there are audience-specific user guides available for specialized users. You can access the CORPUS user guide, LANGUAGE/TRANSLATION user guide, and EDITING user guide on http://wordcruncher.com/.

System requirements and installation information can be found on http://wordcruncher.com/install/.

General Purposes of WordCruncher

WordCruncher has two general purposes: studying texts and analyzing linguistic features. Studying Texts

WordCruncher allows users to access free books for study. Below is a description of some basic options that WordCruncher offers for study: ● You can download several free texts to open in WordCruncher. ● You can read the Book of Mormon with Voices Identified, which tags verses with their original author/speaker, and searches within the words attributed to each author or speaker. ● You can compare versions of the Bible by downloading the Bible collection book, which includes several versions of the Bible. ● You can annotate your texts as you study with notes and highlights, which you can search for after they are saved. Analyzing Linguistic Features

WordCruncher allows users to analyze linguistic features of a document. Below is a description of some basic functions that WordCruncher offers for linguistic analysis: ● You can look at collocates (phrases you commonly find near a specific word). For example, if you look up the word truth, you can find other words or phrases that the word is often next to, like truth and righteousness or sword of truth. ● You can create phrase lists—for example, lists of first person singular pronouns— which primarily help you search for a list of words within a category. ● You can look at word frequency to see the number of times a word is used within a text or corpus. When searching for word frequency, you may expand or restrict your search results to show all forms of the word or only the exact word you are searching. ● You can discover word relationships by using one of the three types of Boolean logic: or logic to compare the usage of two terms; and logic to determine the number of words between your searched terms; and not logic to exclude some of the surrounding results of your search term.

Other Scriptural Resources

Many WordCruncher users primarily use the program to analyze The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ scriptural texts. Since scriptural analysis is a common use for the WordCruncher program, the following sets of instructions will teach you how to use several additional resources for analyzing scriptures. These resources include the Voices in the Book of Mormon book and the Bible Collection. Voices in the Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon, one of the books of scripture used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was written by many authors. Several experienced linguists at Brigham Young University have analyzed the Book of Mormon to determine which author was most likely to have written each section. The following sets of instructions teach you how to switch between text order and voice order in the Book of Mormon with Voices Identified book. They will also teach you how to limit your search results within the Book of Mormon to a specific author’s voice

Switching from Text Order to Voice Order The Book of Mormon with Voices Identified book will open in text order, which will show the Book of Mormon in its regular order, but with tags to show who is speaking. However, you may also want to read or analyze the book in voice order so you can group together portions of text by a specific author. This section will teach you how to switch from text order to voice order in the Book of Mormon with Voices Identified book.

1. Make sure you have the Book of Mormon with Voices Identified book downloaded. 2. Open the Book of Mormon with Voices Identified book. 3. Click the Voice Order at the beginning of the book.

28

Note: A new window will open that is almost identical to the Text Order window, but if you scroll down, you will see the Book of Mormon ordered by voice.

Switching from Voice Order to Text Order

If you have the Book of Mormon with Voices Identified book in voice order, you may want to switch back to text order. This section will teach you how to switch from voice order to text order in the Book of Mormon with Voices Identified book.

1. Make sure you have the Book of Mormon with Voices Identified book downloaded. 2. Open the Book of Mormon with Voices Identified book. 3. Click the Text Order hyperlink at the beginning of the book to switch to text order if the book is in voice order.

Searching Within a Specific Voice in the Book of Mormon When analyzing the Book of Mormon, you may want to search for times when one specific author uses a word or phrase. This section will teach you how to search within a specific voice in the Book of Mormon.
