Word Association Data Processor
----------------------------------------------------------


The Word Association Data Processor (WADP) is an open-source software package
(licensed under the EUPL v1.2 or later) which automates key aspects of the processing of
word association data gathered from respondents in word association tasks.
Its user base is expected to be linguists and others working with word association
data and employing a methodology similar to that presented in Fitzpatrick et. al. (2015).



The WADP offers:

  • a tidy and efficient interface for the manual categorisation of word association responses
  • automatic categorisation of responses in cases where categorisations for the relevant cue-response pairs are found in a database of past category ratings
  • automatic storage of all new ratings in the database
  • tracking of respondent IDs and rater IDs (if provided) in all in- and output files
  • automatic creation of individual response profiles
  • automatic creation of cue profiles
  • and more
For full documentation and installation instructions, see the manual.




The WADP is cross-platform. It was
tested under macOS, Ubuntu Linux, and via WSL on Windows 10 and should
work well on any platform that can run the bash shell.
