Textual analysis is a broad term for various research methods used to describe, interpret and understand texts. All kinds of information can be gleaned from a text – from its literal meaning to the subtext, symbolism, assumptions, and values it reveals.
The methods used to conduct textual analysis depend on the field and the aims of the research. It often aims to connect the text to a broader social, political, cultural, or artistic context.

The Bible is cited differently from other books in Chicago style. Biblical citations can appear either in the text, in parentheses, or in footnotes or endnotes, but the Bible is not included in your bibliography or reference list.
A Bible citation always includes the book, chapter, and verse. It sometimes also includes the version of the Bible you are using.
Chicago Bible citation examples| In the text | In Job 4:8 (NIV), Eliphaz states that “those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it.” |
|---|
| In a parenthetical citation | Eliphaz tells Job that “those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it” (Job 4:8 [NIV]). |
|---|
| In a footnote | 1. Job 4:8 (NIV). |

To cite a newspaper or magazine article in Chicago, you can use a footnote citation:
1. Gibbons-Neff, Thomas, and Mujib Mashal, “U.S. Is Quietly Reducing Its Troop Force in Afghanistan,” New York Times, October 21, 2019, https://nyti.ms/31xXNQb.
Chicago also allows you to cite newspaper articles informally within the text:
On October 21, 2019, the New York Times reported that the United States military was already in the process of withdrawing from Afghanistan “despite the lack of a peace deal with the Taliban” (“U.S. Is Quietly Reducing Its Troop Force in Afghanistan”).
In this case, you don’t need to include the source in your bibliography or reference list.
If you are required to formally cite newspaper articles, follow the relevant Chicago citation format: either notes and bibliography or author-date style.

The Chicago Manual of Style provides guidelines for two styles of source citation: notes and bibliography and author-date. Author-date style is the preferred option in the sciences and social sciences.
In author-date style, an in-text citation consists of the author’s name, the publication year, and (if relevant) a page number. Each citation must correspond to an entry in the reference list at the end of your paper, where you give full details of the source.

To cite an interview in Chicago style, the format depends on whether you are citing a published/broadcast interview or an unpublished interview (for example, one that you conducted yourself).
A published interview is usually cited much like any other item in a periodical, but starts with the interviewee’s name in place of the author. A Chicago style footnote for a published interview looks like this:
1. J.M. Coetzee, “Writers’ Groups: An Interview with J.M. Coetzee,” interview by Peter McDonald, Writers and Free Expression (blog), January 7, 2019, https://writersandfreeexpression.com/2019/01/07/writers-groups-an-interview-with-j-m-coetzee/.
An unpublished interview is generally just described in the text or in a note, not included in the bibliography, and is more flexible in format:
2. David Wilson (editor at Daily Times), in discussion with the author, January 2004.

Wall Street Journal. “How Hong Kong Protesters Evade Surveillance With Tech.” September 16, 2019. Video, 6:46. https://youtu.be/32KTKXZZ-BI.
