details: Details on a specific item

In mclm: Mastering Corpus Linguistics Methods

Details on a specific item

Description

This method zooms in on details of an object x based on an item y. When x is of class slma (currently the only supported class), y must be one of the lexical markers described in it.

Usage

details(x, y, ...)

## S3 method for class 'slma'
details(x, y, shorten_names = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x	An object containing global statistics for a collection of linguistic units, such as an object of class slma.
y	A character vector of length one representing one linguistic item.
...	Additional arguments.
shorten_names	Logical. If TRUE, filenames in the rownames are shortened with short_names().

Value

An object with details. When x is of class slma, the class of the output is details.slma, namely a list with the following items:

• summary: The row of x$scores corresponding to y.

• scores (what is printed by default), a dataframe with one row per pair of documents in the slma and the frequencies and association scores of the chosen item as columns.

• item: the value of y.

• sig_cutoff and small_pos, as defined in slma.

Examples

a_corp <- get_fnames(system.file("extdata", "cleveland", package = "mclm"))
b_corp <- get_fnames(system.file("extdata", "roosevelt", package = "mclm"))
slma_ex <- slma(a_corp, b_corp, keep_intermediate = TRUE)

gov <- details(slma_ex, "government")
gov$summary

# A bit of tidy manipulation to shorten filenames
if (require("dplyr") && require("tidyr")) {
  as_tibble(gov, rownames = "files") %>% 
     tidyr::separate(files, into = c("file_A", "file_B"), sep = "--") %>% 
     dplyr::mutate(dplyr::across(dplyr::starts_with("file"), short_names))
}
