Word-context conditional expression

Create word-context conditional expression with the %|% operator.

word %|% context

Arguments

word

a character vector. Word or words to include as the variable part of the conditional expression.

context

a character vector of length one. The fixed (or "given") part of the conditional expression.

Value

a word_context class object.

Details

The intuitive meaning of the operator %|% is that of the mathematical symbol | (given). This operator is used to create conditional expressions representing the occurrence of some word after a given context (for instance, the expression "you" %|% "i love" would represent the occurrence of the word "you" after the string "i love"). The purpose of %|% is to create objects which can be given as input to probability() (see probability for further examples).
