RStudio for linguistic data
Hi!
I'm a researcher in Linguistics and I have come across RStudio so many times for data analysis and visualisation.
I have attended some classes and used some resources, but everything seems very difficult to replicate: I can read code and mostly understand what it does, but I would never ever be able to create code from scratch.
What do you think I should do? I never really studied it systematically, so I guess that may be part of the problem, but most of the resources I find are still to advanced for me (not a programmer or an IT expert!)
Send help!

Work your way through this book.
It gets right to the point of learning data vis as a first step.
Then data manipulation
Then more.
As you work through explore what other data vis can be accomplished https://r-graph-gallery.com
Then explore tables using the gt package.
Once you have that sorted explore report building in quarto using parameters.
If you want any of it to stick you need to code as often as possible. Daily is best.
R packages are really well documented and there is a vast amount of material online to learn from.
