Corpora for Text Analysis

This is an R package with a collection of corpora for text analysis. Some corpora are included when installing the package (see table below). Others must be downloaded first. This allows us to continue adding new corpora without the intial package ballooning!

You can install the package using:

remotes::install_gitlab("culturalcartography/text2map.corpora")

Load corpora installed with the package:

data("corpus_finefoods", package = "text2map.corpora")

Download additional corpora and then load it:

text2map.corpora::download_corpus("corpus_web_dubois")
data("corpus_web_dubois", package = "text2map.corpora")

Available Corpora

The following corpora can be loaded into your R session using data() provided
text2map.corpora is also loaded. Note: tokens and types are measured without preprocessing using the space to mark words.
