Information about why and how to get a global basic level column onto all_basiclevel
DO NOT USE! The "all_basiclevel" table now already contains global basic levels.
Why do I need a global basic level?
global_bl will help you organize object words across files. Where the old basic_level was file-dependent and governed by many very specific rules, global_bl is intended to be a straightforward mapping between object words and the dictionary versions of those words. global_bl collapses across words like "dog" and "doggy", making a single category for both of those word types.
Where can I get a spreadsheet with global basic levels?
The best place to get it is at the following path:
At the moment, all_bl_global will always provide you with the data from April 3, 2019. If a new word that was not in SEEDLingS before gets added to all_basiclevel, the script won't work as it's supposed to anymore and Charlotte will have to go in and make a new global_bl for that word. As such, this is the stopgap measure. all_bl_global will have to be manually updated on a regular basis, but this should work until the RAs complete their cleaning.
What do I do if I find a global_bl that I think is wrong?
It's possible there are issues with the current global_bl system. You can either log a complaint on the github or email Charlotte (charlotte.moore@duke.edu) with any issues you find. Please the annotid of the offending entry in your complaint so that I can find it easily.
How do I generate global_bl on my local computer?
Currently, the way you do this is by running a script. A function in blabr that does this instead is coming soon. The script takes a minute to run, but the results are primo.
Clone the git repository.
Open global_bl.Rproj.
Run the script "global_bl_function.R" from start to finish. The entire thing.
Your final product should be a single data frame called all_bl_global.
In order to get this spreadsheet into another R project, you'll have to write it out and then reopen it in that other project. This is temporary.
