rdf:langString Quantitative Discourse Analysis Package

rdf:langString Quantitative Discourse Analysis Package (qdap) is an R package for computer assisted qualitative data analysis, particularly quantitative discourse analysis, transcript analysis and natural language processing. Qdap is installable from, and runs within, the R system. Qdap is a tool for quantitative analysis of qualitative transcripts and therefore provides a bridge between quantitative and qualitative research approaches. It is designed for transcript analysis, but its features overlap with natural language processing and text mining. Its features include: * tools for the preparation of transcript data * frequency counts of sentence types, words, sentences, turns of talk, syllables * aggregation using grouping variables * word extracting and visualization * statistical analysis. For higher level statistical analysis and visualization of text, qdap is integrated with R and offers integration with other R packages.
