Source: R/get_submappings.R

A utility function to get the descriptive data for the submappings of a metaphor (for the aggregated synonyms data or for a given synonym, if specified). This function is used in Rajeg (2019, Chapter 5 & 6).

get_submappings(
  metaphor = NULL,
  word = NULL,
  df = NULL,
  metaphor_var = "metaphors",
  submet_var = "submappings",
  synonym_var = "synonyms",
  lexunit_var = "lu"
)

Arguments

metaphor

character strings of regular expressions for the metaphor.
word

character strings of regular expressions for the happiness synonyms.
df

the data frame (phd_data_metaphor).
metaphor_var

character string for the column name of the metaphor variable (i.e., "metaphors").
submet_var

character string for the column name of the submapping variable (i.e., "submappings").
synonym_var

character string for the column name of the synonyms variable (i.e., "synonyms").
lexunit_var

character string for the column name of the lexical unit variable (i.e., "lu").

Value

A tibble/data frame of the descriptive statistics of the submappings, namely the raw and relative (i.e. percentages of the) token and type frequencies.
