Overview

This book is a textbook on R, a programming language and environment for statistical analysis and visualization. Its primary aim is to introduce R as a research instrument in quantitative Interactional Linguistics.

Focus and Content

Focusing on visualization in R, the book presents original case studies on conversational talk-in-interaction based on corpus data and explains in good detail how key graphs in the case studies were programmed in R. It also includes task sections to enable readers to conduct their own research and compute their own visualizations in R.

Additional Resources

Both the code underlying the key graphs in the case studies and the datasets used in the case studies as well as in the task sections are made available on the book's companion website.
