Multilingual Street-Name Stopwords

Source: R/data.R
street_stopwords.Rd

Locative particles and articles that recur inside multi-word street names but carry no discriminative signal for matching - German AN DER, French DE LA, Italian DELLA, and so on. Used by normalize_street() when drop_stopwords = TRUE to collapse e.g. "An der Alster" to "ALSTER".

Usage

street_stopwords

Format

An object of class tbl_df (inherits from tbl, data.frame) with 58 rows and 2 columns.

Source

Manually curated from common multi-word street-name patterns across languages. Expandable as new particles are encountered.

Details

The list is deliberately tight: only true prepositions and articles, never adjectives ("NEUE", "GROSSE") or directionals that can themselves be the distinguishing part of a name. Entries are uppercase ASCII so they join directly against normalize_street()'s already-uppercased, transliterated tokens. When a lang is supplied to normalize_street(), only that language's particles are removed.

Format

A tibble with two columns:

stopword

Character string. The particle in uppercase ASCII (e.g. "AN", "DER", "DE", "DELLA").

lang

ISO 639-1 language code ("de", "en", "fr", "es", "it", "pt", "nl").
