In kbenoit/quanteda.dictionaries: Dictionaries for Text Analysis and Associated Utilities

#' An R package consisting of dictionaries for text analysis and associated utilities
#'
#' Provides text analysis dictionaries and additional functionality for their
#' use in text analysis frameworks, especially \pkg{quanteda}.
#'
#' The package contains several dictionaries that capture positive and negative sentiment, and
#' other types of emotions. Moreover, the package contains word lists of words spelled differently in
#' British and American English. These lists can be used to adjust text corpora and avoid
#' double-counting the same word with different spellings in the same corpus.
#'
#' The second main purpose of \pkg{quanteda.dictionaries} is the function \link{liwcalike}. It allows
#' analysing text corpora in a LIWC-alike fashion. LIWC (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count) is a
#' standalone software distributed at https://www.liwc.app. \link{liwcalike} takes a \pkg{quanteda}
#' \link[quanteda]{corpus} as an input and allows to easily apply dictionaries to the text corpus.
#' The output returns a data.frame consisting of percentages and other quantities, as well as the count
#' of all dictionary categories in each document.
