Description

The function is designed to easily retrieve a tibble data frame of the top-n most frequent frame-evoking Lexical Units (LU) of the prominent metaphors discussed in Rajeg (2019, Chapter 5 and 6).

Usage

get_lu_frame_table(
  metaphor = NULL,
  word = NULL,
  print_all = FALSE,
  top_n = FALSE,
  limit = 10,
  df = NULL,
  metaphor_var = "metaphors",
  frame_var = "source_frames",
  synonym_var = "synonyms",
  lexunit_var = "lu",
  lexunit_gloss_var = "lu_gloss"
)

Arguments

metaphor	regular expressions for the relevant metaphor.
word	character strings of regular expressions for the HAPPINESS synonyms.
print_all	logical; print all output
top_n	logical; limit to the top-n LUs
limit	integer; maximum rows to be printed from the top-n LUs
df	the data frame (phd_data_metaphor).
metaphor_var	character string for the column name of the metaphor variable (i.e., "metaphors").
frame_var	character string for the column name of the source frame variable (i.e., "source_frames").
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").
lexunit_gloss_var	character string for the column name of the gloss of the lexical units (i.e., "lu_gloss").

Value

A tibble/data frame of the descriptive statistics of the LUs and the frames, including the gloss of the LUs.

Examples

# for the aggregated data
get_lu_frame_table(metaphor = "possessable",
                   top_n = TRUE,
                   limit = 20,
                   df = phd_data_metaphor)

# for a specific synonym
get_lu_frame_table(metaphor = "possessable",
                   word = "^bahagia$",
                   top_n = TRUE,
                   limit = 20,
                   df = phd_data_metaphor)
