Korp update

21 September 2012

Friday already, and the ominous bird of yore has in update flowing through the pipes, if you pardon my mixed metaphors. I think you will because this isn't an update; it's a work of art.

painted with a big brush:

  • 56 corpora, at time of writing, now support searching across sentence boundaries. try it thusly:
    • 1. from the 'search within' select box, choose 'paragraph'.
    • 2. go to the extended search, click the cog for a few new options for specifying e.g sentence end. your next added token will bring back results from the following sentence.
    • 3. search, and see the results in the kwic!
  • but you don't have to search across sentence boundaries to see surrounding sentences, no sir! that's what the 'context' select box is for. combine with any search and get your result sentences back padded with the whole paragraph from which they originate. fun for the whole family.
  • login is also done but we won't show it to you quite yet as the excitement might throw you into a seizure. also, we don't have any protected corpora to protect as of yet.
  • Martin is pleased to annonce that we've finally crossed the mythical ten-to-the-power-of-nine line. And the Seven Angels sounded the Seven Trumpets. And there was much rejoicing.

 

And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;

painted with a smaller brush:

  • a few new corpora in lagrummet/habeas corpus, courtesy of Malin.
  • a few additions to the finish swedish material.
  • the blog mix has grown!
  • by the flutter of Jonatan's feathered fingers against the keyboard: a new feature to the corpus selector! hold alt on you keyboard while clicking a row to select only that entry.

 

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted — nevermore!

With a flap of our wings,
The Korponauts
