Textual data contain rich accounts of actions taken by different actors, of relationships, and of particular identities’ attributes. In other words, texts contain representations of social structures. Sociology has a long tradition of formally studying such
structures that was pioneered by Franzosi, Carley, Mohr, Tilly, and others. However, with the embrace of computational text analysis, sociologists' focus has shifted from grammar-based approaches to ones based on co-occurrence, such as word embeddings. Time
to bring grammar back in! In this talk, I will first present a computational framework (and R package) for extracting grammatically structured information like the above from text. I then show how this allows us to study larger discursive patterns by presenting
both past and current research. In particular, I will be talking about gender and agency in fiction writing (1850-2010), as well as contending conceptions of refugees in German news.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
