Summary/Abstract: As text databases become available to researchers, the limits to human cognition are rapidly reached. Focusing on examining objective realities, this paper introduces the latent categorization method, a novel new research method for analysis of large and midsize data sets. Based on extracting knowledge from existing representative data, it is a widespread method in social sciences, in sociological methodology, giving new techniques in the interpretive research of a discourse.
