"count"(.Object, query, pAttribute = NULL, freq = FALSE, total = T, mc = F, progress = T, verbose = FALSE)
"count"(.Object, query, pAttribute = getOption("polmineR.pAttribute"), verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

.Object

a "partition" or "partitionBundle" object, or a character vector (length 1) providing the name of a corpus
