Return the count of sentences in a corpus or character object.
nsentence(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.")
nsentence(txt)
#> text1 text2 text3
#> 1 2 2
