An R Package for Text Analysis
Description
A set of tools to analyze texts. Includes, amongst others,
functions for automatic language detection, hyphenation, several indices of
lexical diversity (e.g., type token ratio, HD-D/vocd-D, MTLD) and readability
(e.g., Flesch, SMOG, LIX, Dale-Chall). Basic import functions for language
corpora are also provided, to enable frequency analyses (supports Celex and
Leipzig Corpora Collection file formats) and measures like tf-idf. Support for
additional languages can be added on-the-fly or by plugin packages. Note: For
full functionality a local installation of TreeTagger is recommended. 'koRpus'
also includes a plugin for the R GUI and IDE RKWard, providing graphical dialogs
for its basic features. The respective R package 'rkward' cannot be installed
directly from a repository, as it is a part of RKWard. To make full use of this
feature, please install RKWard from https://rkward.kde.org (plugins are detected
automatically). Due to some restrictions on CRAN, the full package sources are
only available from the project homepage. To ask for help, report bugs, suggest
feature improvements, or discuss the global development of the package, please
