Raw Word Lists/Frequency Counts

Description

Transcript Apply Raw Word Lists and Frequency Counts by grouping variable(s).

Usage

word_list(
  text.var,
  grouping.var = NULL,
  stopwords = NULL,
  alphabetical = FALSE,
  cut.n = 20,
  cap = TRUE,
  cap.list = NULL,
  cap.I = TRUE,
  rm.bracket = TRUE,
  char.keep = NULL,
  apostrophe.remove = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

`text.var`	The text variable.
`grouping.var`	The grouping variables. Default `NULL` generates one word list for all text. Also takes a single grouping variable or a list of 1 or more grouping variables.
`stopwords`	A vector of stop words to remove.
`alphabetical`	If `TRUE` the output of frequency lists is ordered alphabetically. If `FALSE` the list is ordered by frequency rank.
`cut.n`	Cut off point for reduced frequency stop word list (rfswl).
`cap`	logical. If `TRUE` capitalizes words from the cap.list.
`cap.list`	Vector of words to capitalize.
`cap.I`	logical. If `TRUE` capitalizes words containing the personal pronoun I.
`rm.bracket`	logical If `TRUE` all brackets and bracketed text are removed from analysis.
`char.keep`	A character vector of symbols (i.e., punctuation) that `word_list` should keep. The default is to remove every symbol except apostrophes.
`apostrophe.remove`	logical. If `TRUE` removes apostrophes from the output.
`...`	Other arguments passed to `strip`.

Value

An object of class "word_list" is a list of lists of vectors or dataframes containing the following components:

`cwl`	complete word list; raw words
`swl`	stop word list; same as rwl with stop words removed
`fwl`	frequency word list; a data frame of words and corresponding frequency counts
`fswl`	frequency stopword word list; same as fwl but with stop words removed
`rfswl`	reduced frequency stopword word list; same as fswl but truncated to n rows

Examples

## Not run: 
word_list(raj.act.1$dialogue)

out1 <- with(raj, word_list(text.var = dialogue, 
    grouping.var = list(person, act)))
names(out1)
lapply(out1$cwl, "[", 1:5)

with(DATA, word_list(state, person))
with(DATA, word_list(state, person, stopwords = Top25Words))
with(DATA, word_list(state, person, cap = FALSE, cap.list=c("do", "we")))

## End(Not run)
