SOUSA, Yuri Sá Oliveira. The Use of the Iramuteq Software: Fundamentals of Lexicometry for Qualitative Research. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.spe, pp.1541-1560. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2021.64034.

Qualitative data analysis has been aided by various computer programs (e.g., Alceste Iramuteq, TXM, Lexicon). Iramuteq is a free software that helps the treatment of textual data and offers different possibilities of analysis based on text statistics, or lexicometry.  This paper aims to present this approach and provide theoretical and methodological foundations for the use of Iramuteq in qualitative research. The text discusses the principles of lexicometry and presents the characteristics, potentialities and limits of the different lexical treatment techniques made possible by Iramuteq: Classic Textual Statistics, Specificity Analysis, Similitude Analysis, Factorial Analysis by Correspondence, Descending Hierarchical Classification (Reinert's method - Alceste), Word Cloud and Prototypical Analysis of free evocations. It is expected that the work can stimulate the critical and contextualized use of Iramuteq in qualitative research, as well as contribute to the training of graduate students and researchers in psychology and related fields who can benefit from the use of the tool in their studies.

Palavras-chave : methodology; qualitative research; lexical analysis; iramuteq.
