N2 - This chapter provides a step-by-step guide for conducting a new MD analysis with SPSS v. 18. Data for MD analysis are obtained from Factor Analysis, a statistical procedure that extracts co-occurring factors, which can be functionally interpreted to produce linguistic dimensions. With this guide, readers can use normed tags from the Biber POS-tagger or from other commercially available taggers (e.g. CLAWS) to conduct their own analysis. In preparation for MD analysis, we will first walk the reader through the processes of corpus tagging, data preparation, and data screening. We will then give detailed instructions on how to conduct an Exploratory Factor Analysis, interpret the resulting factors functionally, and compute dimension scores.
