Fun with word play at President Obama's speech
at the Home Depot in Alexandria Virginia. Here
are some of the more popular words he said,
along with the counts and transcript.
The
following logic was applied prior to the word
frequency count of the speech:
- remove any references to (Applause.)
- remove any references to (Laughter.)
- remove any references to (.,-?;:)
- converted text to lower case
- set format prior to word cont
(speech-prior-clean.text)
- ran code algorithm against text to
derive word frequency (delimeter is a
"space" or " ")
- output file (word-count-frequency.csv)
Observations:
- obama said the word "job" 13 out of 1814
words or 0.7166%
- obama said the word "money" 9 out of
1814 words or 0.4961%
