runBASwebservice_g2pForTokenization {emuR}R Documentation

Tokenizes an orthographic transcription.

Description

This function calls the webservice G2P to break up a transcription into tokens, or words. In addition to tokenization, G2P performs normalization of numbers and other special words. A call to this function is usually followed by a call to runBASwebservice_g2pForPronunciation. This function requires an internet connection.

Usage

runBASwebservice_g2pForTokenization(
  handle,
  transcriptionAttributeDefinitionName,
  language,
  orthoAttributeDefinitionName = "ORT",
  params = list(),
  patience = 0,
  resume = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

handle

emuDB handle

transcriptionAttributeDefinitionName

name of the attribute (not level!) containing an orthographic transcription.

language

language(s) to be used. If you pass a single string (e.g. "deu-DE"), this language will be used for all bundles. Alternatively, you can select the language for every bundle individually. To do so, you must pass a data frame with the columns session, bundle, language. This data frame must contain one row for every bundle in your emuDB. Up-to-date lists of the languages accepted by all webservices can be found here: https://clarin.phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/BASWebServices/services/help

orthoAttributeDefinitionName

attribute name for orthographic words

params

named list of parameters to be passed on to the webservice. It is your own responsibility to ensure that these parameters are compatible with the webservice API (see https://clarin.phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/BASWebServices/services/help). Some options accepted by the API (e.g. output format) cannot be set when calling a webservice from within emuR, and will be overridden. If file parameters are used please wrap the file path in httr::upload_file("/path/2/file/rules.nrul").

patience

If a web service call fails, it is repeated a further n times, with n being the value of patience. Must be set to a value between 0 and 3.

resume

If a previous call to this function has failed (and you think you have fixed the issue that caused the error), you can set resume=TRUE to recover any progress made up to that point. This will only work if your R temporary directory has not been deleted or emptied in the meantime.

verbose

Display progress bars and other information

Details

All necessary level, link and attribute definitions are created in the process.
