Note: Percentages of categories do not add to 100% because they are referred to their upper domain (i.e., descriptive/prescriptive), and percentages of subcategories are referred to their immediately upper category; * No subcategory is used for units of analysis referred to the general category, as it is not possible to classify them into a subcategory.
