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.

Installation

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")

library(text2map.dictionaries)

Dictionaries

The package currently includes 13 English dictionaries containing hand-ranked and inferred word “norms,” as well as frequency and rank information from various corpora or administrative data. See

Related Packages

There are four related packages hosted on GitLab:

• text2map: text analysis functions
