R is an extremely popular programming language, used throughout the sciences; due to its accessibility, R is now used increasingly in other research areas. In this volume, readers immediately begin working with text, and each chapter examines a new technique or process, allowing readers to obtain a broad exposure to core R procedures and a fundamental understanding of the possibilities of computational text analysis at both the micro and the macro scale. Each chapter builds on its predecessor as readers move from small scale \"microanalysis\" of single texts to large scale \"macroanalysis\" of text corpora, and each concludes with a set of practice exercises that reinforce and expand upon the chapter lessons. The book's focus is on making the technical palatable and making the technical useful and immediately gratifying.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eText Analysis with R\u003c\/i\u003e is written with students and scholars of literature in mind but will be applicable to other humanists and social scientists wishing to extend their methodological toolkit to include quantitative and computational approaches to the study of text. Computation provides access to information in text that readers simply cannot gather using traditional qualitative methods of close reading and human synthesis. This new edition features two new chapters: one that introduces \u003ci\u003edplyr \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003etidyr\u003c\/i\u003e in the context of parsing and analyzing dramatic texts to extract speaker and receiver data, and one on sentiment analysis using the \u003ci\u003esyuzhet\u003c\/i\u003e package. It is also filled with updated material in every chapter to integrate new developments in the field, current practices in R style, and the use of more efficient algorithms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMatthew \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eL. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eJockers \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of English and Data Analytics as well as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Washington State University. He leverages computers and statistical learning methods to extract information from large collections of books. Using tools and techniques from linguistics, natural language processing, and machine learning, Jockers crunches the numbers (and the words) looking for patterns and connections. This computational approach to the study of literature facilitates a type of literary \"macroanalysis\" or \"distant reading\" that goes beyond what a traditional literary scholar could hope to study. Dr. Jockers's most recent book, \u003ci\u003eThe Bestseller Code\u003c\/i\u003e (2016, with Jodie Archer), \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ehas earned critical praise, and the algorithms at the heart of its research won the University of Nebraska's Breakthrough Innovation of the Year in 2018. In addition to his academic research, Jockers has worked in industry, first as Director of Research at a data-driven book industry startup company and then as Principal Research Scientist and Software Development Engineer in iBooks at Apple, Inc. In 2017, he and Jodie Archer founded \"Archer Jockers, LLC,\" a text mining and consulting company that helps authors develop more successful novels through data analytics. In late 2019, Jockers and others founded a new text mining startup focused on helping independent authors (\"indies\").\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosamond Thalken \u003c\/b\u003eis an Instructor of English and Digital Technology and Culture at Washington State University. Her research engages questions about the intersections and impacts among digital technology, language, and gender. She currently teaches College Composition and Digital Diversity, a course which analyzes the cultural contexts within digital spaces, including intersections of race, gender, class, and sexuality. In 2019, Thalken finished her Master's degree in English Literature at Washington State University. Her thesis combined text analysis and close reading to explore the female Supreme Court Justices' rhetorical strategies for reinforcing ethos in court opinions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 277\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 31, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52493674905907,"sku":"9783030396459","price":112.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/U0FaK0s3VFJTNG1PWDdzaHptcGFFdz09.webp?v=1759960722","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/text-analysis-with-r-for-students-of-literature-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
