rnltk

rnltk is a natural language tool kit for R. It is inspired by Python's NLTK porting and extending much of Python's functionality with some R flavor. The packages/functions that are included are designed to be more intuitive wrappers or optimized for performance. Currently, the package calls the following packages maintained by me:

1. entity
2. formality
3. gofastr
4. hclustext
5. lexr
6. parsent
7. qdapRegex
8. readability
9. sentimentr
10. stansent
11. syllable
12. tagger
13. termco
14. textproj
15. textreadr
16. textreport
17. textshape

There are plans to add to this list including outside packages, focusing particularly on machine learning/classification packages. Please suggest packages and features with rationale as to how/why it would be important to include the request in a natural language tool kit.

To see all of the available packages and functions use the available() function.

Additionally, I plan to replicate and extend much of the Natural Language Processing with Python book (Bird, Klein, & Loper, 2009) with equivalent rnltk code.
