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 4 core dictionaries (always available) and offers 65 additional on-demand dictionaries that can be downloaded as needed.

Core dictionaries include sensorimotor norms, concreteness ratings, English normalization rules, 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.
