CoCA can be run within our R package, text2map, using the CoCA() function!

The package is on CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/text2map/index.html

Learn about the package here: https://culturalcartography.gitlab.io/text2map/

text2map: R Tools for Text Matrices, Embeddings, and Networks

This is a collection of functions optimized for working with with various kinds of text matrices. Focusing on the text matrix as the primary object - represented either as a base R dense matrix or a 'Matrix' package sparse matrix - allows for a consistent and intuitive interface that stays close to the underlying mathematical foundation of computational text analysis. In particular, the package includes functions for working with word embeddings, text networks, and document-term matrices. Methods developed in Stoltz and Taylor (2019) <<a href="https://doi.org/10.1007%2Fs42001-019-00048-6" target="_top">doi:10.1007/s42001-019-00048-6</a>>, Taylor and Stoltz (2020) <<a href="https://doi.org/10.1007%2Fs42001-020-00075-8" target="_top">doi:10.1007/s42001-020-00075-8</a>>, Taylor and Stoltz (2020) <<a href="https://doi.org/10.15195%2Fv7.a23" target="_top">doi:10.15195/v7.a23</a>>, and Stoltz and Taylor (2021) <<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016%2Fj.poetic.2021.101567" target="_top">doi:10.1016/j.poetic.2021.101567</a>>.

New pub alert! 🚨

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0022250X.2024.2395806?src=

@dustinstoltz & I introduced concept class analysis (CoCA) in 2020 as a way to uncover traces of cultural schemas in text. Admittedly, the method's output requires some interpretive heavy-lifting.

Thus our new paper, which offers an analytical workflow for working with CoCA!
