Text Mining with R: A Tidy Approach by Julia Silge and David Robinson
This book/guide is available completely online (https://www.tidytextmining.com/index.html) and it offers a nice overview of popular topics in text mining (i.e., sentiment analysis, word frequencies, topic modelling) as well as how to carry out the analyses in R with examples.
An Introduction to Text Processing and Analysis with R by Michael Clark
This online guide is similar (https://m-clark.github.io/text-analysis-with-R/intro.html), and additionally covers strings and word embeddings with sample code/case studies.
This workshop summary on R-Bloggers also provides an introduction to some of these topics using a different R package for analyzing textual data in R (quanteda): https://www.r-bloggers.com/advancing-text-mining-with-r-and-quanteda/, and it additionally covers supervised classification, latent semantic analysis, and structural topic models.
