Text networks, part three: Dependency networks

This post is part of a series of posts about text network analysis. Each post will discuss one approach to algorithmically creating networks from texts. See the primer for an introduction and the list of posts. In the previous post, we introduced the basics of text-network analysis using the example of co-occurrence networks. Any application of text-network analysis evolves around two questions: 1. What are my nodes? and 2. what are the relations (edges) between nodes? The answer to the first..
