sudo apt install r-base-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libxml2-dev libsodium-dev

#### Fedora / CentOS >= 8 / RHEL >= 8
sudo dnf install R-devel libcurl-devel openssl-devel libxml2-devel libsodium-devel

#### CentOS < 8 / RHEL < 8
sudo yum install R-devel libcurl-devel openssl-devel libxml2-devel libsodium-devel

#### Arch Linux
pacman -S base-devel gcc-fortran libsodium curl

Package installation

CRAN version:

install.packages("RKorAPClient")

Development version (alternatives):

devtools::install_github("KorAP/RKorAPClient")
remotes::install_github("KorAP/RKorAPClient")

Examples

Hello world

library(RKorAPClient)
new("KorAPConnection", verbose=TRUE) %>% corpusQuery("Hello world") %>% fetchAll()

Frequencies over time and domains using ggplot2

library(RKorAPClient)
library(ggplot2)
kco <- new("KorAPConnection", verbose=TRUE)
expand_grid(condition = c("textDomain = /Wirtschaft.*/", "textDomain != /Wirtschaft.*/"), 
            year = (2002:2018)) %>%
    cbind(frequencyQuery(kco, "[tt/l=Heuschrecke]", paste0(.$condition," & pubDate in ", .$year)))  %>%
    ipm() %>%
    ggplot(aes(x = year, y = ipm, fill = condition, colour = condition)) +
    geom_freq_by_year_ci()

Percentages over time using highcharter

See the Highcharts license notes below.

library(RKorAPClient)
query = c("macht []{0,3} Sinn", "ergibt []{0,3} Sinn")
years = c(1980:2010)
as.alternatives = TRUE
vc = "textType = /Zeit.*/ & pubDate in"
new("KorAPConnection", verbose=T) %>%
  frequencyQuery(query, paste(vc, years), as.alternatives = as.alternatives) %>%
  hc_freq_by_year_ci(as.alternatives)

Proportion of "ergibt … Sinn"  versus "macht … Sinn" between 1980 and 2010 in newspapers and magazines
