[Corpora-List] Re. Concordancer for Chinese (Summary of reply)

[Kiril Simov]

Dear Linda,

I am not a specialist in Chinese, but if your documents are Unicode based
and can be represented as XML documents, you could try our system:
CLaRK. It is an XML-based system for corpora development and it
includes an Unicode XML Editor, XPath language for navigation in
XML documents, XSLT engine for tranformation of XML documents,
Cascaded Regular Grammars, Constraints over XML documents,
Tokenizers, Concordance tool, Extract, Remove and other tools.
The system is freely available at:

With best regards,

Kiril
