The function configuration(...) Creates drama configuration matrix as a QDConfiguration object, which is also a data.frame. The S3 function as.matrix() can be used to extract a numeric or logical matrix containing the core.
configuration(d, segment = c("Act", "Scene"), mode = c("Active", "Passive"), onlyPresence = FALSE) # S3 method for QDConfiguration as.matrix(x, ...)
| d | A |
|---|---|
| segment | A character vector, either "Act" or "Scene". Partial matching allowed. |
| mode | Character vector, should be either "Active" or "Passive". Passive configurations express when characters are mentioned, active ones when they speak themselves. Please note that extracting passive configuration only makes sense if some form of coreference resolution has taken place on the text, either manually or automatic. If not, only very basic references (first person pronouns and proper names) are represented, which usually gives a very wrong impression. |
| onlyPresence | If TRUE, the function only records whether a character was presence. If FALSE (which is the default), the function counts the number of tokens spoken (active) or referenced (passive). |
| x | An object of class QDConfiguration |
| ... | All other arguments are passwd to |
Drama configuration matrix as a QDConfiguration object (of type data.frame).
By default, we generate active matrices that are based on
the character speech. A character is present in a scene or
act, if they make an utterance.
Using the argument mode, we can also create passive
configuration matrices. They look very similar, but are based
on who's mentioned in a scene or an act.
# Active configuration matrix data(rksp.0) cfg <- configuration(rksp.0) # Passive configuration matrix cfg <- configuration(rksp.0, mode="Passive")
