[stevenlis]

I have a LIWC2007_English150202_STRESS.dic, which looks like the following:

%
1	stress
%
abandon*	1
abuse*		1
ache*		1
aching		1
afraid		1
...

When I do

parse, category_names = liwc.load_token_parser('./LIWC2007_English150202_STRESS.dic')

I get

How to get access for LIWC2007_English150202_STRESS.dic ?
We need to purchase it from https://liwcsoftware.onfastspring.com/ ?

[stevenlis]

I don't even think the 2015 version has a .dic file and they have their own api right now I think.

[yuviabhi]

You bought LIWC2007_English150202_STRESS.dic from them right ?
I'm asking specifically about STRESS related dic [ which may be now an API].

[stevenlis]

Sorry. I can't remember that and no longer use it at all. You can contact their support. But if I remembered this correctly, they don't have a .dic file now but only a big pdf or xlsx file or something.
