Arguments

.Object	object of class partition
...	Further arguments.
n	Number of tokens (if char is NULL) or characters otherwise.
p_attribute	the p-attribute to use (can be > 1)
char	If NULL, tokens will be counted, else characters, keeping only those provided by a character vector
progress	A logical value.
mc	A logical value, whether to use multicore, passed into call to blapply().
verbose	A length-one logical value, whether to show messages.
vocab	A character vector with an alternative vocabulary to the one stored on disk.

Examples

use("polmineR")
P <- partition("GERMAPARLMINI", date = "2009-10-27")
ngrm <- ngrams(P, n = 2, p_attribute = "word", char = NULL)

# a more complex scenario: get most frequent ADJA/NN-combinations
ngrm <- ngrams(P, n = 2, p_attribute = c("word", "pos"), char = NULL)
ngrm2 <- subset(
 ngrm,
 ngrm[["1_pos"]] == "ADJA"  & ngrm[["2_pos"]] == "NN"
 )
ngrm2@stat[, "1_pos" := NULL][, "2_pos" := NULL]
ngrm3 <- sort(ngrm2, by = "count")
head(ngrm3)
use(pkg = "RcppCWB", corpus = "REUTERS")
dt <- decode("REUTERS", p_attribute = "word", s_attribute = character(), to = "data.table")
y <- ngrams(dt, n = 3L, p_attribute = "word")
