Dear Professor Scott,

Am I right in thinking that I cannot re-compute the keyness (log-likelihood score) of a keywords list after I have used a lemma list to join different entries?

I'm asking because I would like to compute a word cloud and I'm under the impression that there is no way for the joined entries to reflect the keyness of the multiple constitutive keywords (and increase in size) in the word cloud.

Thank you very much for your help.

Kind regards

Dimitris

Dimitris, hi

I think you're right. Lemmatise the word lists first, then recompute the KW results.

Cheers -- Mike

Hi, I hadn't thought about that. Thank you!
