ABOUT NooJ:

NooJ is a free, open source linguistic development environment software as
well as a corpus processor. NooJ provides linguists with tools to develop
dictionaries, Regular Grammars, Context-Free Grammars, Context-Sensitive
Grammars, and Unrestricted Grammars as well as their graphical equivalents to
formalize each linguistic phenomenon. NooJ’s multi-layer approach allows
linguists to accumulate elementary descriptions across different linguistic
levels.

NooJ is used in the Digital Humanities as it allows researchers in the
Humanities and in Social sciences to apply sophisticated queries to large
corpora in real time, in order to construct indices and concordances, annotate
texts automatically and perform statistical analyses, etc. NooJ’s linguistic
engine has been inserted into a large number of NLP applications such as
automatic semantic annotators, Named Entities Recognizers, Information
extractors, Paraphrase Generation, Business Intelligence, Machine Translation,
Web Semantics, etc.

Topics of Interest:

- Linguistic resources: Typography, Spelling, Syllabification, Phonemic and
Prosodic transcription, Morphology, Lexical Analysis, Local Syntax, Structural
Syntax, Transformational Analysis, Paraphrase Generation, Semantic
annotations, Semantic analysis, Description of rare and endangered languages.

Studies, Second-Language Teaching, Narrative content analysis, Corpus
