In gederajeg/happyr: The Accompanying R Package for Rajeg's (2019) PhD Thesis Titled "Metaphorical Profiles and Near Synonyms: A Corpus-based Study of Indonesian Words for Happiness"

Description

A utility function to get the descriptive statistics for the source frames of a metaphor (for the aggregated synonyms data or for a given synonym, if specified). This function is used in Rajeg (2019, Chapter 5 & 6).

Usage

get_frames(
  metaphor = NULL,
  word = NULL,
  df = NULL,
  frame_var = "source_frames",
  metaphor_var = "metaphors",
  synonym_var = "synonyms",
  lexunit_var = "lu"
)

Arguments

metaphor	character strings of regular expressions for the metaphor.
word	character strings of regular expressions for the happiness synonyms.
df	the data frame (phd_data_metaphor).
frame_var	character string for the column name of the source frame variable (i.e., "source_frames").
metaphor_var	character string for the column name of the metaphor variable (i.e., "metaphors").
synonym_var	character string for the column name of the synonyms variable (i.e., "synonyms").
lexunit_var	character string for the column name of the lexical unit variable (i.e., "lu").

Value

A tibble/data frame of the descriptive statistics of the frames, namely the raw and relative (i.e. percentages of the) token and type frequencies. If the word argument is specified, both the source_frames and the synonyms variable are grouped for calculating the token and type frequencies, while percentages of these are summarised per word.

Examples

# for aggregated data across all synonyms
get_frames(metaphor = "desired goal",
           df = phd_data_metaphor)

# for a synonym
get_frames(metaphor = "desired goal",
           word = "^kesenangan",
           df = phd_data_metaphor)

# for synonyms with the same root (e.g. "senang" and "kesenangan")
get_frames(metaphor = "desired goal",
           word = "senang",
           df = phd_data_metaphor)

# for synonyms in the nominalised forms
get_frames(metaphor = "desired goal",
           word = "^(kesenangan|kegembiraan)",
           df = phd_data_metaphor)
