Page 34 of the publications manual lists the various styles:

\parencite is like \cite[authoryear][article] and \textcite is like
\cite[authoryears][article]. The names are admittedly a little confusing,
but you can define your own wrappers with something like

   \define\parencite[1]{\cite[authoryear][#1]}
   \define\textcite[1]{\cite[authoryears][#1]}
