pos: Parts of Speech Tagging

Description

pos - Apply part of speech tagger to transcript(s). pos_by - Apply part of speech tagger to transcript(s) by zero or more grouping variable(s). pos_tags - Useful for interpreting the parts of speech tags created by pos and pos_by.

Usage

pos(text.var, parallel = FALSE, cores = detectCores()/2,
  progress.bar = TRUE, na.omit = FALSE, digits = 1, percent = TRUE,
  zero.replace = 0, gc.rate = 10)

pos_by(text.var, grouping.var = NULL, digits = 1, percent = TRUE,
  zero.replace = 0, ...)

pos_tags(type = "pretty")

Arguments

text.var

The text variable.

parallel

logical. If TRUE attempts to run the function on multiple cores. Note that this may not mean a speed boost if you have one core or if the data set is smaller as the cluster takes time to create.

cores

The number of cores to use if parallel = TRUE. Default is half the number of available cores.

na.omit

logical. If TRUE missing values (NA) will be omitted.

progress.bar

logical. If TRUE attempts to provide a OS appropriate progress bar. If parallel is TRUE this argument is ignored. Note that setting this argument to TRUE may slow down the function.

digits

Integer; number of decimal places to round when printing.

percent

logical. If TRUE output given as percent. If FALSE the output is proportion.

zero.replace

Value to replace 0 values with.

gc.rate

An integer value. This is a necessary argument because of a problem with the garbage collection in the openNLP function that pos wraps. Consider adjusting this argument upward if the error

grouping.var

The grouping variables. Default NULL generates one word list for all text. Also takes a single grouping variable or a list of 1 or more grouping variables.

...

Other argument supplied to pos.

type

An optional character string giving the output of the pos tags. This must be one of the strings "pretty" (a left justified version of the output optimized for viewing but not good for export), "matrix" (a matrix versi
