Count the number of sentences
Return the count of sentences in a corpus or character object.
nsentence(x)
x |
a character or corpus whose sentences will be counted |
count(s) of the total sentences per text
nsentence() relies on the boundaries definitions in the stringi
package (see stri_opts_brkiter). It does not
count sentences correctly if the text has been transformed to lower case,
and for this reason nsentence() will issue a warning if it detects all
lower-cased text.
# simple example
txt <- c(text1 = "This is a sentence: second part of first sentence.",
text2 = "A word. Repeated repeated.",
text3 = "Mr. Jones has a PhD from the LSE. Second sentence.")
