query.lu(
  lu,

  regex = FALSE,
  db = c("deeplex", "cld"),
  as_tibble = TRUE
)

Arguments

lu	A string. The lexical unit to be queried in the databases.
isSimp	Logical. Whether `lu` is in simplified Chinese. Defaults to `FALSE`, which treat `lu` as traditional Chinese.
regex	Logical. Whether to use a regular expression pattern in the argument `lu` for searching. Defaults to `FALSE`, which searches for exact matches.
db	Character. The databases to be searched. Currently only `deeplex` and `cld` (Chinese Lexical Database) are available.
as_tibble	Logical. Whether to convert the query results to a `tibble` (a special type of `data.frame` provided by the package tibble). Defaults to `TRUE`, which makes the data frame printed out in the console to have a nicer look.

A data frame (tibble).
