Systematic counting in this case is when a researcher finds words that makes sense and analyze them so to make conclusions that make sense. Texts could have many words that do not make sense and this is why we try to find words that do make sense or do have a significance in the message. For example, in class, we have a whole lecture and we take notes on them. When we analyze it, we find words that are consistent and in repetition so to know what words are important.
