Abstract
This brief how-to is an excerpt from a larger unit on R and its uses in the study of literature that I am constructing for a course on Digital Humanities to be taught in the Information and Library Science School at Indiana University next fall. We will be drawing heavily from Matt Jockers' Text Analysis with R for Students of Literature, a straightforward, well-written text I have found to be invaluable. However, for the purposes of this workshop, I will simply be showing you some code and the results of some tests we have run. In the course itself, students will be guided through some of the exercises in Jockersâ s book and then work on the code themselves. As this is all at a preliminary stage, what you will be learning about is one aspect of stylometry: word frequency counts and their relationship to overall meaning by looking at Zipf's Law.
