That's not enough information for us to be able to help you, since there's no reproducible code.
Here's the crucial bit: > stem_freqs_list <- mget(uniq_stems,stem_dict) > stem_freqs <- do.call(rbind,stem_freqs_list) What does stem_freqs_list look like? What does stem_freqs look like? dim() and str() would both be helpful here.
