getCOSMAS: Read in concordances created with COSMAS II.

In hartmast/concordances: A Tool for Reading Corpus Export Files Into R

Read in concordances created with COSMAS II.

Description

Function for reading in concordances created with the search interface of the Institute for the German Language (IDS), COSMAS II, as data frames.

Usage

getCOSMAS(filename, merge = FALSE, years = FALSE,
  more_context = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

filename	Path to the COSMAS II output file.
merge	If matches consist of more than one word (e.g. if you searched for something like "the X-er the Y-er" or "the ADJ person" rather than just for e.g. "word"), should they be merged in one column?
years	Set to TRUE if you exported "Jahresansicht" or "Jahrzehntansicht". Set to FALSE (the default) if you exported an unsorted concordance (which is COSMAS II's default setting). The concordances package currently only supports unsorted concordances, "Jahresansicht", and "Jahrzehntansicht".
more_context	If TRUE (the default), the "Belege" section from the concordance file is used to preserve the user-defined context window. If FALSE, only the "KWIC" section from the concordance file is used, which means that only ca. 5 words left and right are preserved, ignoring the user-defined context window.
...	arguments passed on from other methods

Value

A KWIC data frame.
