   ContentAnalysis
 Someauthors define it as a set of quantitative techniques, while others believe
 that it has elements of both the quantitative and the qualitative approaches,
 because in this case the counting of the manifestation of textual elements that
 emerges from the first stage of content analysis will only serve to organization
 andsystematization of the data, while the later analytical phases will allow the
 researcher to apprehend the social view of the world by the participants
 (authors) of the textual material under analysis.
   Content Analysis
 For Bardin, the content analysis covers the initiatives of explicitation, systematization
 and expression of message content, with the purpose of making logical and justified
 deductions about the origin of those messages (who issued them, in what context
 and/or what effects intended to cause through them). More specifically, content
 analysis is:
 "A set of communication analysis techniques aimed at obtaining, by systematic
 procedures and objective description of the content of the messages, indicators
 (quantitative or not) that allow the inference of knowledge regarding the conditions
 of production / reception of these messages” (Bardin, 1979, p. 42).
