An R package containing customizable lists of stopwords in multiple languages; it attempts to follow tidy data principles.
The idea behind this package is to provide stopwords for
less-resourced languages as well as give the user control over the
stopword selection with respect to parts of speech. For the purposes of
this package, stopwords are defined as forms of function words from
closed parts of speech (e.g. prepositions, conjunctions, auxiliary
verbs, and pronouns). The core generate_stoplist() function
relies on multilingual_stopwords(), a large data frame
derived from the current release of the Universal Dependencies
Treebanks. We have included all languages. The data comes encoded in
UTF-8. The vocabulary coverage for each language depends on the size,
textual diversity, and annotation quality of the available treebanks. No
manual post-editing was performed.
