Advances in content analysis

the long version

This volume is one of the outcomes of the first Scandinavian Conference on Content Analysis, arranged in Rattvik, Sweden, March 13-17, 1979, with the support of the Nordic Cultural Foundation within the Nordic Council. At the conference some twenty papers from Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden were presented and discussed. The committee arranging the conference agreed that about a dozen of these would be of some interest to an international public. Most of these can be found in this volume; in some cases, however, the authors could not find the time and opportunity to make the adjustments and amendments always necessary in such cases. One paper not presented at the conference has also been included.
