This total number of tokens may be higher than the sum of all frequency counts in x, for instance, if x contains frequency counts for a selection of items only, and not for all tokens in the corpus.

Usage

tot_n_tokens(x)

tot_n_tokens(x) <- value

## S3 replacement method for class 'freqlist'
tot_n_tokens(x) <- value

## S3 method for class 'freqlist'
