Add new structurally attributes temporarily #22

Open ChristophLeonhardt opened 1 year ago

ChristophLeonhardt commented 1 year ago

In earlier drafts of this package, it was envisioned that it should be possible to add attributes temporarily without changing the corpus itself. It seemed to work in earlier versions by setting the delete parameter of s_attribute_encode() but this might have been a misunderstanding.

I removed the argument for now but I still think that this could be a nice addition to have values which are used for one analysis. If the linkage is reproducible and fast, this could then be done when needed, avoiding any kind of issues one might associate with changing the initial data source permanently.

This already was addressed, albeit in a narrower scope in issue #1. For documentation purposes, I would keep both issues open for now. I suggest to use this one (i.e. issue 22) for discussions as this addresses conceptual implications as well.
