JSTOR_2bigramscor(unpack2, bigram1, bigram2, span = 0.4)

Arguments

unpack2	object returned by the function JSTOR_unpack2.
bigram1	One bigram or a vector of bigrams, each bigram surrounded by standard quote marks.
bigram2	One bigram or a vector of bigrams, each bigram surrounded by standard quote marks.
