Is there a way to increase the number of words appearing before and after the keyword in Quanteda kwic function?
I've tried by changing the numeric value in:
options(width = 200)
but it didn't work. @KenBenoit
options(width) affects the number of text columns displayed by the R interpreter. You want the window argument to kwic():
> kwic(data_corpus_inaugural, "war against")
