politenessDNM: Politeness Features

Description

Detects linguistic markers of politeness in natural language. This function emulates the original features of the Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil Politeness paper. This primarily exists to contrast with the full feature set in the main package, and is not recommended otherwise.

Usage

politenessDNM(text, uk_english = FALSE)

Value

a data.frame of politeness features, with one row for every item in `text`. The original names are used where possible.

Arguments

text

character A vector of texts, each of which will be tallied for politeness features.

uk_english

logical Does the text contain any British English spelling? Including variants (e.g. Canadian). Default is FALSE
