  Abstract:   The Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count is a content analysis tool that counts words in given texts in psychologically meaningful categories and dimensions. This makes the tool powerful in identifying and exploring psychological – emotional and cognitive – content in textual expressions beyond the literal meaning of words. The current discussion paper presents the translation of the second version of the dictionary, LIWC2001, in Romanian and its potential uses for analysing Romanian texts, particularly with an open source content analysis software, the Yoshikoder. Such a linguistic catalogue, as the LIWC, in Romanian is the first to be made available to researchers and others interested in Romanian verbal expressions, oral or written. A brief illustration of how the Romanian LIWC2001 works with Yoshikoder gives way to discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the Romanian version of the dictionary and its application in Yoshikoder.

Keywords: content analysis, Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count, Romanian LIWC2001, Yoshikoder
