word_list: Raw Word Lists/Frequency Counts

In trinker/qdap: Bridging the Gap Between Qualitative Data and Quantitative Analysis

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)
