text2map.dictionaries: Dictionaries for Text Analysis

Provides dictionaries for text analysis, including word frequencies, norms, normalization rules, and specialized word lists. Uses an on-demand download system: core dictionaries are installed with the package, while additional dictionaries are downloaded from the repository as needed.

Details

The package ships with 11 core dictionaries (always available) and offers 53 additional on-demand dictionaries that can be downloaded as needed.

Core dictionaries include sensorimotor norms, concreteness ratings, English abbreviations, emoticons, fusing rules, interjections, irregular verbs, normalization rules, numerics, personal names, and Unicode normalization.

On-demand dictionaries cover areas like word frequencies (English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish), surname distributions, various psychological norms (NRC VAD, WKB VAD, humor norms), and more.
