| x | a corpus object |
|---|---|
| ... | not used |
| c1 | corpus one to be added |
| c2 | corpus two to be added |
| recursive | logical used by `c()` method, always set to `FALSE` |
| i | index for documents or rows of document variables |
| j | index for column of document variables |
| drop | if |
| value | a vector that will form a new docvar |
| object | the corpus about which you want structural information |
is.corpus returns TRUE if the object is a corpus
is.corpuszip returns TRUE if the object is a compressed corpus
The + operator for a corpus object will combine two corpus
objects, resolving any non-matching docvars or
metadoc fields by making them into NA values for the
corpus lacking that field. Corpus-level meta data is concatenated, except
for source and notes, which are stamped with information
pertaining to the creation of the new joined corpus.
The `c()` operator is also defined for corpus class objects, and provides an easy way to combine multiple corpus objects.
There are some issues that need to be addressed in future revisions of
quanteda concerning the use of factors to store document variables and
meta-data. Currently most or all of these are not recorded as factors,
because we use stringsAsFactors=FALSE in the
data.frame calls that are used to create and store the
document-level information, because the texts should always be stored as
character vectors and never as factors.
