qdap (Quantitative Discourse Analysis Package) is an R package designed to assist in quantitative discourse analysis. The package stands as a bridge between qualitative transcripts of dialogue and statistical analysis and visualization.
Currently there isn't a release on CRAN.
You can, however, download the zip ball or tar ball, decompress and run R CMD INSTALL on it, or use the devtools package to install the development version:
# install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("qdap", "trinker")Note: Windows users need Rtools and devtools to install this way.

install.packages("XML", contriburl = URL)
install.packages("RCurl", contriburl = URL)Note: Mac users must install openNLP before attempting to install qdap
