soundcorrs (version 0.1.1)

table.soundcorrs: Generate a correspondence-to-correspondence or correspondence-to-metadata contingency table.

Description

Take all segment-to-segment correspondences in a dataset, and cross-tabulate them with themselves or with metadata taken from a separate column.

Usage

# S3 method for soundcorrs
table(data, column = NULL, count = "a", unit = "w", direction = 1, ...)

Arguments

data

[soundcorrs] The dataset from which to draw frequencies. Only datasets with two languages are supported.

column

[character] Name of the column with metadata. If NULL, sound correspondences are cross-tabulated with themselves. Defaults to NULL.

count

[character] Report the absolute number of times or words, or relative to how many times or in how many words the given segments co-occur in L1 or L2. Accepted values are "a(bs(olute))" and "r(el(ative))". Defaults to "a".

unit

[character] Count how many times a correspondence occurs or in how many words it occurs. Accepted values are "o(cc(ur(ence(s))))" and "w(or(d(s)))". Defaults to "w".

direction

[integer] If 1, correspondences are in the order Language1 > Language2 ("x yields y"). If 2, the order is Language2 < Language1 ("y originates from x"). Defaults to 1.

...

Unused; only for consistency with table.

Value

[table] The contingency table.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
dataset <- sampleSoundCorrsData.abc
table (dataset)
table (dataset, direction=2)
table (dataset, "DIALECT.L2")
round (table(dataset,"DIALECT.L2",count="r"), digits=3)
# }
