textclean: Text Cleaning Tools
Tools to clean and process text. Tools are geared at checking for
substrings that are not optimal for analysis and replacing or removing them
(normalizing) with more analysis friendly substrings (see Sproat, Black,
Chen, Kumar, Ostendorf, & Richards (2001) <doi:10.1006/csla.2001.0169>) or extracting them into
new variables. For example, emoticons are often used in text but not always
easily handled by analysis algorithms. The replace_emoticon() function
replaces emoticons with word equivalents.
