polmineR (version 0.7.0)

sAttributes,character-method: Get s-attributes.

Description

Structural annotations (s-attributes) of a corpus provide metainformation for ranges of text. Importing XML into the Corpus Workbench (CWB) turns elements and element attributes into s-attributes. There are two uses of the sAttributes-method: If the sAttribute parameter is NULL (default), the return value is a character vector with all s-attributes. If sAttribute is the name of a specific s-attribute (i.e. a length 1 character vector), the respective s-attributes available in the corpus are returned.

Usage

"sAttributes"(.Object, sAttribute = NULL, unique = TRUE, regex = NULL)
"sAttributes"(.Object, sAttribute = NULL)

.Object

either a partition or a character vector specifying a CWB corpus

sAttribute
