[Corpora-List] corpora with regular expression engine (syntactic pattern)

[Serge Heiden]

Hi Olivier and Kevin,

A recent alternative to Xkwic, as a wrapper to the CQP search engine,
is TXM - http://sourceforge.net/projects/txm:
- it runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux
- its graphical user interface is available in English, Russian and French
- it is also available as a web portal software (allowing you to give online
   access to your own corpora with access control builtin)
- it embeds the R software to allow you to apply any statistical
   model you could imagine of to CQP extractions
- it works hard to process all kinds of data formats: Unicode raw text,
   XML, various flavours of TEI P5, Transcriber speech transcriptions,
   TMX aligned corpora, native CWB...
- runs TreeTagger for you on the fly when importing corpora
- it can decently handle at most 10 million words corpora (currently)
- it is free and open-source

For more info:
- in English see <http://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/TXM>
- a whole one day introduction tutorial screencast (in French) 
<http://txm.sourceforge.net/enregistrement_atelier_initiation_TXM_fr.html>
- the scientific project background

A last remark concerning the power of the CQP search engine.
It combines two different levels of regular expressions other words:
- a first level on the Part Of Speech tags values, word graphical forms 
or lemma...
- a second level on word sequences
For example, an expression like: [pos="V.*"]+
can express any sequence of verbs of any length:
- "V.*" is at the first level (Part Of Speech tag value): any tag 
beginning with letter 'V' (ignore sub-categories)
- [...]+ is at the second level (sequence of words): two, three, four... 
adjacent verbs

Best,
Serge
