Demo dictionary of generation-name variants for NER

Source: R/dict_generations.R

A small dictionary of generational cohort terms (Greatest, Silent, Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, Alpha, etc.) and spelling/variant forms, for use with search_dict. Built in-package (no data()).

dict_generations

Format

A data frame with columns variant (surface form to match), TermName (standardized label), is_cusp (logical), start and end (birth year range; Pew definitions where applicable, see https://github.com/jaytimm/AmericanGenerations/blob/main/data/pew-generations.csv).
