imperative(dataframe, person.var, text.var, lock.incomplete = FALSE, additional.names = NULL, parallel = FALSE, warning = FALSE)
TRUE locks incomplete sentences
(sentences ending with "|") from being marked as imperative.TRUE attempts to run the function on
multiple cores. Note that this may not mean a speed boost if you have one
core or if the data set is smaller as the cluster takes time to create. With
the mraja1spl data set, with an 8 core machine,
imperative had 1/3 the running time.TRUE provides comma warnings (sentences
that contain numerous commas that may be handled incorrectly by the
algorithm).Returns a dataframe with a text variable indicating imperative sentences. Imperative sentences are marked with * followed by the original end mark.
Automatic imperative remarking.
The algorithm used by imperative is
sensitive to English language dialects and types. Commas can indicate a
choppy sentence and may indicate a false positive. Sentences marked with
`AAVE` may be the use of African American Vernacular English and not an
imperative sentence.
