get_lexically_diverse_metaphors: Retrieve the top-10 lexically diverse metaphors

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

This function calls the script to output the top-10 metaphors that have high index of lexical creativity in their linguistic manifestation. The lexical creativity is derived from the type-per-token ratio (TTR) measure (Rajeg, 2019, Chapter 6). The alternative function with shorter name is get_creative_metaphors.

Usage

get_lexically_diverse_metaphors(
  df_ttr_out = NULL,
  min_token = 3,
  top_n_limit = 10
)

Arguments

df_ttr_out	the tibble as the output of ttr.
min_token	minimum token frequency of the metaphors.
top_n_limit	limit for presenting the top-n most lexically diverse metaphors.

Value

A tibble data frame.
