Corpora: SUM: Tools for Spanish corpora

[Scott Sadowsky]

A couple folks asked me for a summary of the responses to my query about 
Spanish corpora tools, so here it is:

1. Lluís Padró <padro at lsi.upc.es> suggested the tools developed by his 
team, which can be seen at http://www.lsi.upc.es/~nlp.    Eva Esteve Ferrer 
<estevef0 at etu.unige.ch> also recommended them.  I've been in correspondence 
with Lluís and will definitely be pursuing this possibility, even if it 
involves setting up a Linux box, which is something I haven't done in a 
couple years.

2. Raf Salkie <R.M.Salkie at bton.ac.uk> pointed me to Leonel Ruiz Miyares 
(leonel at lingapli.ciges.inf.cu <leonel at lingapli.ciges.inf.cu>, who has done 
work in this field (cf. http://www.hit.uib.no/corpora/2001-1/0406.html).

3. John Goldsmith <ja-goldsmith at uchicago.edu> pointed me to a program that 
he's developing, which can be read about and downloaded from 
http://humanities.uchicago.edu/faculty/goldsmith/Linguistica2000/index.htm 
.  I'm also planning on checking this app out as soon as time permits.

4. Philip Resnik <resnik at umiacs.umd.edu> and Pasi Tapanainen 
<Pasi.Tapanainen at conexor.fi> pointed me to the commercial tools available 
at http://www.conexor.fi .

5. Susana Sotillo IMAP <sotillos at mail.montclair.edu> brought a DOS-based 
program, http://chss.montclair.edu/~sotillos/Tactpages/index.html , to my 
attention.

Many thanks to everyone for your suggestions.  This will definitely keep me 
off the streets and out of trouble for a while.

Cheers,
Scott
