CORPUS IN CATALAN #28

Closed LRiver15 closed 5 years ago

LRiver15 commented 5 years ago

Hello!

I am working with a corpus in Catalan and I would like to use QUANTEDA. I have tried with other corpus in English and in Spanish and it there was not any problem. However, I would like to know it is recommended in this case because of the constraints. For example, there is not any dictionary available for downloading.

Thank you in advance.

It should work fine. Stopwords are available in Catalan:

> stopwords::stopwords("ca", source = "misc") %>%
+     head(20)
 [1] "a"            "abans"        "abans-d'ahir" "abintestat"   "ací"          "adesiara"    
 [7] "adés"         "adéu"         "adàgio"       "ah"           "ahir"         "ai"          
[13] "aitambé"      "aitampoc"     "aitan"        "aitant"       "aitantost"    "aixà"        
[19] "això"         "així"        
> stopwords::stopwords("ca", source = "stopwords-iso") %>%
+     head(20)
 [1] "a"         "abans"     "ací"       "ah"        "així"      "això"      "al"        "aleshores"
 [9] "algun"     "alguna"    "algunes"   "alguns"    "alhora"    "allà"      "allí"      "allò"     
[17] "als"       "altra"     "altre"     "altres"

Stemming in Catalan is not provided in quanteda.
