text2map.dictionaries: Dictionaries for Text Analysis

This is an R Package with several datasets for English-language dictionaries useful for text analysis. See also text2map.

This is primarily a dataset package and therefore we will not be sending it to CRAN. You can install the latest version from GitLab:

library(remotes)
install_gitlab("culturalcartography/text2map.dictionaries")
