(1) There is<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lexically.net/wordsmith/Handling_BNC/">http://lexically.net/wordsmith/Handling_BNC/</a> which is designed for
your type of research interest.<br>
<br>
(2) WordSmith 5.0 does already come with a tag file for BNC-XML (you
should find BNC XML.tag and BNC XML categories.txt in your
\Documents\wsmith5 folder). <br>
<br>
(3) However I am working on WordSmith 6 at present and one of the
features I definitely do plan to improve is XML handling, which at
present is pretty basic. (Today I'm working on a timeline feature,
however.) The problem with XML parsing is that a full parse is slow
so complex searches will best be carried out on a relatively fixed
corpus like BNC XML where WordSmith can be set to build an index.<br>

<br>
I'm looking for a detailed <u>How to Use BNC-XML in Wordsmith</u>
help file.<br>
There are some very useful help documents in <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.lexically.net">http://www.lexically.net</a><br>
but it doesn't cover additional mark-ups in BNC-XML and how to
deal with them.<br>
For instance, is there a ready made tag file or how can I change
the default one<br>
(BNC-World Edition) in WS5 so that I can make concordance on tags.
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance...<br>
