  auth = FALSE
)

Arguments

corpusName	Name of corpus to query. For example, to search within the childes corpus, corpus="childes".
corpora	Name of corpus/corporas to query. This is a path starting with the corpus name followed by subfolder names leading to a folder for which all transcripts beneath it will be queried. For example, to query all transcripts in the MacWhinney childes corpus: corpora = c('childes', 'Eng-NA', 'MacWhinney').
lang	Query by language For example, to get transcripts that contain both English and Spanish: lang=c("eng", "spa"). Legal values: 3-letter language codes based on the ISO 639-3 standard.

designType	Query by design type. For example, to get transcripts from a longitudinal study: designType=c("long") Legal values are "long" for longitudinal studies, "cross" for cross-sectional studies.
activityType	Query by activity type. For example, to get transcripts where the target participant is engaged in toy play: activityType=c("toyplay"). See the CHAT manual for legal values.
