In SietzeN/glottospace: Language Mapping and Geospatial Analysis of Linguistic and Cultural Data

Enhance glottolog data (flexible options)

Description

It is recommended to use glottobooster, but this function is more flexible in removing/adding columns.

Usage

glottoboosterflex(
  glottologdata = NULL,
  space = TRUE,
  addfamname = TRUE,
  addisolates = TRUE,
  rmdialects = TRUE,
  rmfamilies = TRUE,
  addfamsize = TRUE,
  addfamsizerank = TRUE,
  rmbookkeeping = TRUE,
  rmartifam = TRUE,
  rmsignlangs = TRUE,
  rename = TRUE
)

Arguments

glottologdata	data from glottolog, can be downloaded with glottoget("glottolog").
space	Return spatial object?
addfamname	Add column with familiy names?
addisolates	Add column to identify isolates?
rmdialects	Remove rows with dialects?
rmfamilies	Remove rows with families?
addfamsize	Add column with family size?
addfamsizerank	Add column with family size rank?
rmbookkeeping	Remove bookkeeping rows and delete bookkeeping column?
rmartifam	Remove rows that refer to artificial families?
rmsignlangs	Remove rows with sign languages?
rename	Rename columns "id" to "glottocode" and "iso639p3code" to "isocode"

Details

Note that the different options are additional. For example, if you set rmfamilies to TRUE and space = TRUE, most families will still be removed since they lack spatial coordinates. Another example, depending on whether artificial families are removed, the total number of families also increases/decreases.

Value

glottologdata object, either a spatial object (class: sf) or a data.frame.
