cqp_query {RcppCWB}

Execute CQP Query and Retrieve Results.

Description

Using CQP queries requires a two-step procedure: At first, you execute a query using cqp_query. Then, cqp_dump_subcorpus will return a matrix with the regions of the matches for the query.

Usage

cqp_query(corpus, query, subcorpus = "QUERY")

cqp_dump_subcorpus(corpus, subcorpus = "QUERY")

cqp_subcorpus_size(corpus, subcorpus = "QUERY")

cqp_list_subcorpora(corpus)

cqp_drop_subcorpus(corpus)

Arguments

corpus

a CWB corpus

query

a CQP query

subcorpus

subcorpus name

Details

The cqp_query function executes a CQP query. The cqp_subcorpus_size function returns the number of matches for the CQP query. The cqp_dump_subcorpus function will return a two-column matrix with the left and right corpus positions of the matches for the CQP query.
