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.
