The search box itself

(picture in English forthcoming)

Simple use of the search box

The box has 9 different search modes, word, Part-of-speech, Grammatical analysis, Baseform, Dependency relation, Domain, Translated from, Title, date, time interval. We go through them one by one than:

word

Here you enter word form. Mark alternative to the right, e.g. is, is not, … The option is not only makes sense with the use of multiple search boxes.

Part of speech

Here there are predefined options, one for each Part of speech.

Grammatical analysis

Here you enter the grammatical tag. The dropdown menu immediately to the right says contains, because the tag is only a part of the string word form + analysis. If you want to search for several tags, e.g. locative singular, type Sg.Loc in the search field.

Baseform

Here you search for the lexeme. Selecting sátni here gives hit on the inflected forms sátni, sáni, sániid, …

Dependency relation

Here you can search for tags for syntactic function, e.g. deprel_←OBJ (in ucorp it only says **deprel←OBJ**). The drop-down menu provides a list of available function tags. Here is an explanation of the tags for syntactic function.

Domain

This is the set of corpus domains: administration, bible, facts, ficti, news, … This does not seem to be implemented to work in search. On the other hand, it is possible to sort hits by domain during a search on Statistics.

Title

This is the title of the document. This doesn’t seem to be implemented to work in search. On the other hand, it is possible to sort hits by domain during a search on Statistics.

Translated from

Metadata is very poor here, and it also does not seem to be implemented in search.

Combine several wrap legs in the same search box

It is possible to copy searches with the operators AND and OR. Press or at the bottom of the box to search for the union of two or more requirements (eg search for noun or pronoun). Press and to get a new part of the same search box, to search for an intersection of two requirements (eg search for a word that is plural and object).

Combining multiple conditions in the same search box

(The picture shows Norwegian as metalanguage)

By pressing ⨁ to the right of the search box, you get another search box, so you can search for word combinations. Here it might also be a good idea to search for Part of speech is not.

Search for more words and show statistics

Search for two words (mark the empty box between verb ob object), and select Statistics. The result is a frequency-sorted statistic of verb + object.
