Text mining

• Tokenization
• Corpus: Collection of documents created by tm text mining package

• Document-term matrix: matrix that lists all occurrences of words in the corpus, by document, where documents are rows and words are columns

• tidy text: table with one token per row. token is word or ngram. tokenization = splitting lyrics to token

Lexical Density

Recall that for this tutorial, lexical density is defined as the number of unique words divided by the total number of words. This is an indicator of word repetition, which is a critical songwriter's tool. As lexical density increases, repetition decreases. (Note: this does not imply sequential repetition, which is yet another songwriting trick.)

For density, it's best to keep in all words, including stop words. So start with the original dataset and unnest the words. Group by song and year and use n_distinct() and n() to calculate the density. Pipe that into ggplot() with geom_smooth(). Add an additional stat_smooth() with method="lm" for a linear smooth model.

lex_density_per_year <- prince %>%
  filter(decade != "NA") %>%
  unnest_tokens(word, lyrics) %>%
  group_by(song,year) %>%
  summarise(lex_density = n_distinct(word)/n()) %>%
  arrange(desc(lex_density))

density_plot <- lex_density_per_year %>%
  ggplot(aes(year, lex_density)) + 
    geom_point(color = my_colors[4],
               alpha = .4, 
               size = 4, 
               position = "jitter") + 
    stat_smooth(color = "black", 
                se = FALSE, 
                method = "lm") +
    geom_smooth(aes(x = year, y = lex_density), 
                se = FALSE,
                color = "blue", 
                lwd = 2) +
