The Word Association Data Processor (WADP) is an open-source software package which automates key aspects of the processing of word association data gathered from respondents in word association tests. 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, a tutorial as well as installation instructions, see the manual. The WADP is cross-platform and currently available as beta software.
