\description{
Data sets used for mainly internal purposes by the \pkg{quanteda} package.
}
\details{
\code{data_int_syllables} provides an English-language syllables dictionary;
it is an integer vector whose element names correspond to English words.

\code{data_char_wordlists} provides word lists used in some readability indexes;
it is a named list of character vectors where each list element
corresponds to a different readability index.

These are:
\describe{
\item{\code{DaleChall}}{The long Dale-Chall list of 3,000 familiar (English)
words needed to compute the Dale-Chall Readability Formula.}
\item{\code{Spache}}{The revised Spache word list (see Klare 1975, 73) needed
to compute the Spache Revised Formula of readability (Spache 1974.}
}
