Implements the ThemeScope framework for detecting and visualising
social representations in large-scale digital text corpora. From raw
documents it builds, via 'udpipe' annotation, sentence-level word
co-occurrence networks and derives two community-level indicators grounded
in Social Representation Theory: the Prototypical Salience Index (PSI) for
anchoring and the Concreteness Score (CS) for objectification. Communities
are located in a two-dimensional, theoretically grounded representational
map. The whole pipeline is usable from the R console; an optional 'shiny'
graphical interface calls the same exported functions. The method is
described in Misuraca, Spano and D'Aniello (2026)
