Hi I use the tm_map() with stemDocument used as an argument
Looking at a particular file before stemming writeLines(as.character(data_mined_volatile[[1]])) ## The European Union is a "force for social injustice" which backs "the haves rather than the have-nots", Iain Duncan Smith has said. ## The ex-work and pensions secretary said "uncontrolled migration" drove down wages and increased the cost of living. ## He appealed to people "who may have done OK from the EU" to "think about the people that haven't". ## But Labour's Alan Johnson said the EU protected workers and stopped them from being "exploited". ## The former Labour home secretary accused the Leave campaign of dismissing such protections as "red tape". ## In other EU referendum campaign developments: ## Thirteen former US secretaries of state and defence and national security advisers, including Madeleine Albright and Leon Panetta, say in a letter to the Times that the UK's "place and influence" in the world would be diminished if it left the EU - and Europe would be "dangerously weakened" ## A British Chambers of Commerce survey suggests most business people back Remain but the gap with those backing Leave has narrowed. ## Five former heads of Nato claimed the UK would lose influence and "give succour to its enemies" by leaving the EU - claims dismissed as scaremongering by Boris Johnson ## Mr Corbyn is launching his party's battle bus, saying Labour votes will be crucial if the Remain side is to win ## The official Scottish campaign to keep the UK in the European Union is due to be launched in Edinburgh ## Mr Duncan Smith's speech came after he told the Sun Germany had a "de facto veto" over David Cameron's EU renegotiations, with Angela Merkel blocking the PM's plans for an "emergency brake" on EU migration. ## Downing Street said curbs it negotiated on in-work benefits for EU migrants were a "more effective" way forward. ## Follow the latest developments on BBC EU referendum live ## Laura Kuenssberg: Can Leave win over the have-nots Now look at the same text after stemming corpus <- data_mined_volatile corpus <- tm_map(corpus,stemDocument) writeLines(as.character(corpus[[1]])) ## The European Union is a "forc for social injustice" which back "the have rather than the have-nots", Iain Duncan Smith has said. ## The ex-work and pension secretari said "uncontrol migration" drove down wage and increas the cost of living. ## He appeal to peopl "who may have done OK from the EU" to "think about the peopl that haven't". ## But Labour Alan Johnson said the EU protect worker and stop them from be "exploited". ## The former Labour home secretari accus the Leav campaign of dismiss such protect as "red tape". 2 ## In other EU referendum campaign developments: ## Thirteen former US secretari of state and defenc and nation secur advisers, includ Madelein Albright and Leon Panetta, say in a letter to the Time that the UK "place and influence" in the world would be diminish if it left the EU - and Europ would be "danger weakened" ## A British Chamber of Commerc survey suggest most busi peopl back Remain but the gap with those back Leav has narrowed. ## Five former head of Nato claim the UK would lose influenc and "give succour to it enemies" by leav the EU - claim dismiss as scaremong by Bori Johnson ## Mr Corbyn is launch his parti battl bus, say Labour vote will be crucial if the Remain side is to win ## The offici Scottish campaign to keep the UK in the European Union is due to be launch in Edinburgh ## Mr Duncan Smith speech came after he told the Sun Germani had a "de facto veto" over David Cameron EU renegotiations, with Angela Merkel block the PM plan for an "emerg brake" on EU migration. ## Down Street said curb it negoti on in-work benefit for EU migrant were a "more effective" way forward. ## Follow the latest develop on BBC EU referendum live ## Laura Kuenssberg: Can Leav win over the have-not -----Original Message----- From: R-help [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Andy Wolfe Sent: 26 July 2016 09:14 To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] word stemming for corpus linguistics Hi Paul I have seen this - it's part of the tm package mentioned originally. So, I've tried it again and perhaps I'm using stemDocument incorrectly, but this is what I am doing: # > library(tm) Loading required package: NLP > text.v <- scan(file.choose(), what = 'char', sep = '\n') Read 938 items # > >text.stem.v <- stemDocument(text.v, language = 'english') But it isn't changing anything in the body of the text I'm passing to it - the words are unlemmatized/ unstemmed. When I try using SnowballC, the error returned is that tm_map doesn't have a method to work with objects of class 'character'. Again, the problem is that tm doesn't seem to allow for concordance analysis ... or perhaps it does and I just haven't figured out how to do it, so am happy to be shown some documentation on that process, and whether that is applied before or after the text is transformed into a DTM because searching on-line hasn't (yet) thrown anything back. Thanks.
