Bridging the gap between qualitative data and quantitative
analysis
Description
This package automates many of the tasks associated with
quantitative discourse analysis of transcripts containing
discourse including frequency counts of sentence types, words,
sentences, turns of talk, syllables and other assorted analysis
tasks. The package provides parsing tools for preparing
transcript data. Many functions enable the user to aggregate
data by any number of grouping variables providing analysis and
seamless integration with other R packages that undertake
higher level analysis and visualization of text. This affords
the user a more efficient and targeted analysis. qdap is
designed for transcript analysis, however, many functions are
applicable to other areas of Text Mining /Natural Language
