Get token metadata data

Description

Query a table with all the words from the selected transcripts, one word (token) per row. Each row has:

• Link to view transcript and play any associated media.

• Corpus path to transcript.

• Utterance sequence number (starts at 0).

• Word sequence number within utterance (starts at 0).

• Speaker's role.

• Speaker's ID.

• The word (token).

• The word's stem.

• Part of speech code. (See CHAT manual for descriptions of codes).

Usage

getTokens(
  corpusName = NULL,
  corpora = NULL,
  lang = NULL,
  media = NULL,
  age = NULL,
  gender = NULL,
  designType = NULL,
  activityType = NULL,
  groupType = NULL,
  auth = FALSE
)

Arguments

corpusName	Name of corpus to query. For example, to search within the childes corpus, corpus="childes".
corpora	Name of corpus/corporas to query. This is a path starting with the corpus name followed by subfolder names leading to a folder for which all transcripts beneath it will be queried. For example, to query all transcripts in the MacWhinney childes corpus: corpora = c('childes', 'Eng-NA', 'MacWhinney').
lang	Query by language For example, to get transcripts that contain both English and Spanish: lang=c("eng", "spa"). Legal values: 3-letter language codes based on the ISO 639-3 standard.
media	Query by media type. For example, to get transcripts with an associated video recording: media=c("video"). Legal values: "audio" or "video".
age	Query by participant month age range. For example, to get transcripts with target participants who are 14-18 months old: age=c(from="3", to="12").
gender	Query by participant gender. For example, to get transcripts with female target participants: gender=c("female"). Legal values: "female" or "male".
designType	Query by design type. For example, to get transcripts from a longitudinal study: designType=c("long") Legal values are "long" for longitudinal studies, "cross" for cross-sectional studies.
activityType	Query by activity type. For example, to get transcripts where the target participant is engaged in toy play: activityType=c("toyplay"). See the CHAT manual for legal values.
groupType	Query by group type. For example, to get transcripts where the target participant is hearing limited: groupType=c("HL"). See the CHAT manual for legal values.
auth	Determine if user should be prompted to authenticate in order to access protected collections. Defaults to False.

Examples

getTokens(corpusName = 'childes',
          corpora = c('childes',
                              'Eng-NA',
                              'MacWhinney',
                              '010411a'))
