Examples

# NOT RUN {
bawl.corp <- read.BAWL(
  file.path("~","mydata","valence","BAWL-R.csv")
)

# you can now use query() now to create subsets of the word list,
# e.g., only nound with 5 letters and an valence rating of >= 1
bawl.stimulus <- query(bawl.corp,
  query=list(
    list(wclass="noun"),
    list(lttr=5),
    list("EMO_MEAN"=1, rel="ge")
  )
)
