webCLAN

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Info-CHILDES,

     Leonid has written a web-based version of CLAN called WebCLAN.   
This facility runs off a link that can be found right near the top of  
the CHILDES home page.  The link is the second one in the right column  
and it is called WebCLAN.
    To run WebCLAN, just go through these steps.
1.  Click on the link that takes you to the WebCLAN page.
2.  Select a corpus you wish to analyze.  Select the files you wish to  
analyze or simply enter *.cha.
3.  Choose a CLAN program, such as MLU or FREQ.
4.  Add the additional switches such as +s, +t, +u that you would  
normally use with this command.

I think this way of running CLAN is particularly useful for students  
who are conducting class projects, since it saves them the hassle of  
downloading the raw data files.  I would be happy to receive input  
regarding this new function.  However, I should add that we are, in  
parallel, working on a more user-friendly XQuery-based web interface  
that would allow you to compose these search strings through dialogs.
