Create a Language Network from Neighborhoods of Words
Overview
Input a list of words and/or their phonological transcriptions and this package creates a language network based on their neighborhood structure. First, the phonological/orthographic neighbors for each item in the list are identified based on various definitions of a neighbor (e.g., edit-distance (substitution, deletion, or addition), substitution-only; distance size (1-edit or more); based on single characters or segments indicated by separators) and summarizes this information in an 'igraph' network object for subsequent analyses. For more details see Luce & Pisoni (1998) doi:10.1097/00003446-199802000-00001 and Vitevitch (2008) doi:10.1044/1092-4388(2008/030). Helper functions for extracting network metrics, neighbors, and other information from the language network are provided. This package is intended for psycholinguists interested in modeling language networks and word neighborhoods in various languages.
