Overview

About

Maintained by Andreas Blaette16 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

The 'Corpus Workbench' ('CWB', https://cwb.sourceforge.io/) offers a classic and mature approach for working with large, linguistically and structurally annotated corpora. The 'CWB' is memory efficient and its design makes running queries fast, see Evert (2011) https://eprints.lancs.ac.uk/id/eprint/62721. The 'cwbtools' package offers pure 'R' tools to create indexed corpus files as well as high-level wrappers for the original 'C' implementation of 'CWB' as exposed by the 'RcppCWB' package (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=RcppCWB). Additional functionality to add and modify annotations of corpora from within 'R' makes working with 'CWB' indexed corpora much more flexible and convenient. The 'cwbtools' package in combination with the 'R' packages 'RcppCWB' (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=RcppCWB) and 'polmineR' (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=polmineR) offers a lightweight infrastructure to support the combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches for working with textual data.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/cwbtools/cwbtools_0.4.2.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "cwbtools_0.4.2.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.4.2) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("PolMine/cwbtools")

Development version from PolMine/cwbtools. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-cwbtools

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make
