		Create a Language Network from Neighborhoods of Words // Input a
		list of words and/or their phonological transcriptions and this
		package creates a language network based on their neighborhood
		structure. First, the phonological/orthographic neighbors for
		each item in the list are identified based on various
		definitions of a neighbor (e.g., edit-distance (substitution,
		deletion, or addition), substitution-only; distance size
		(1-edit or more); based on single characters or segments
		indicated by separators) and summarizes this information in an
		'igraph' network object for subsequent analyses. For more
		details see Luce  Pisoni (1998)
		doi:10.1097/00003446-199802000-00001 and Vitevitch (2008)
		doi:10.1044/1092-4388(2008/030). Helper functions for
		extracting network metrics, neighbors, and other information
		from the language network are provided. This package is
		intended for psycholinguists interested in modeling language
		networks and word neighborhoods in various languages.
