tlda: Tools for Language Data Analysis

Abstract

Support functions and datasets to facilitate the analysis of linguistic data. The current focus is on the calculation of corpus-linguistic dispersion measures as described in Gries (2021) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-46216-1_5> and Soenning (2025) <doi:10.3366/cor.2025.0326>. The most commonly used parts-based indices are implemented, including different formulas and modifications that are found in the literature, with the additional option to obtain frequency-adjusted scores. Dispersion scores can be computed based on individual count variables or a term-document matrix.
