Class YCOECorpusReader

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

Parameters:

• root - A path pointer identifying the root directory for this corpus. If a string is specified, then it will be converted to a PathPointer automatically.
• files - A list of the files that make up this corpus. This list can either be specified explicitly, as a list of strings; or implicitly, as a regular expression over file paths. The absolute path for each file will be constructed by joining the reader's root to each file name.
• encoding - The default unicode encoding for the files that make up the corpus. encoding's value can be any of the following:
  • A string: encoding is the encoding name for all files.
  • A dictionary: encoding[file_id] is the encoding name for the file whose identifier is file_id. If file_id is not in encoding, then the file contents will be processed using non-unicode byte strings.
  • A list: encoding should be a list of (regexp, encoding) tuples. The encoding for a file whose identifier is file_id will be the encoding value for the first tuple whose regexp matches the file_id. If no tuple's regexp matches the file_id, the file contents will be processed using non-unicode byte strings.
  • None: the file contents of all files will be processed using non-unicode byte strings.
• tag_mapping_function - A function for normalizing or simplifying the POS tags returned by the tagged_words() or tagged_sents() methods.
