kwic: KWIC/concordance output.

Description

Prepare and show concordances / keyword-in-context (kwic). The same result can be achieved by applying the kwic method on either a partition or a context object.

Usage

kwic(.Object, ...)
# S4 method for context
kwic(.Object, meta = getOption("polmineR.meta"),
  cpos = TRUE, verbose = FALSE)
# S4 method for partition
kwic(.Object, query, cqp = is.cqp,
  left = getOption("polmineR.left"), right = getOption("polmineR.right"),
  meta = getOption("polmineR.meta"), p_attribute = "word",
  s_attribute = NULL, cpos = TRUE, stoplist = NULL, positivelist = NULL,
  regex = FALSE, verbose = TRUE, ...)
# S4 method for character
kwic(.Object, query, cqp = is.cqp,
  left = as.integer(getOption("polmineR.left")),
  right = as.integer(getOption("polmineR.right")),
  meta = getOption("polmineR.meta"), p_attribute = "word",
  s_attribute = NULL, cpos = TRUE, stoplist = NULL, positivelist = NULL,
  regex = FALSE, verbose = TRUE, ...)
