# WordTangible
[](https://pypi.org/project/wordtangible/)
WordTangible is a Python library for analyzing the concreteness and imageability of words and text. It provides tools to measure how abstract or concrete the language in a given text is, which can be useful for various natural language processing tasks, readability analysis, and linguistic research.
## Features
- Get concreteness ratings for individual words
- Calculate average concreteness for a given text
- Compute the ratio of concrete to abstract words in a text
- Customizable thresholds for concrete and abstract word classification
- Option to include or exclude stopwords in analysis
## Installation
You can install WordTangible using pip:
```bash
pip install wordtangible
```
## Usage
Here are some basic examples of how to use WordTangible:
```python
from wordtangible import word_concreteness, avg_text_concreteness, concrete_abstract_ratio
# Get concreteness rating for a single word
print(word_concreteness("apple")) # Output: 5.0 (highly concrete)
# Calculate average concreteness of a text
text = "The abstract concept of love is as tangible as the apple in your hand."
print(avg_text_concreteness(text)) # Output: ~3.5 (mix of concrete and abstract)
# Get the ratio of concrete to abstract words
print(concrete_abstract_ratio(text)) # Output: ~1.0 (balanced concrete and abstract words)
```
