qdap 1.1.0 Released on CRAN by Tyler Rinker.
From the post:
We’re very pleased to announce the release of qdap 1.1.0
This is the fourth installment of the qdap package available at CRAN. Major development has taken place since the last CRAN update.
The qdap package automates many of the tasks associated with quantitative discourse analysis of transcripts containing discourse, including frequency counts of sentence types, words, sentence, turns of talk, syllable counts and other assorted analysis tasks. The package provides parsing tools for preparing transcript data but may be useful for many other natural language processing tasks. 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.
Appropriate for chat rooms, IRC transcripts, plays (the sample data is Romeo and Juliet), etc.
