#LancsBox: Text and Whelk

#LancsBox offers an integrated part-of-speech tagger called TreeTagger developed by Helmut Schmid. You can upload texts and corpora in multiple different languages and #LancsBox will take care of the data processing.

Loaded texts and corpora can be viewed using the Text tool in #LancsBox. The Text tool also enables an in-depth insight into the context in which a word or phrase is used. It can be used, for example, to:

• View a search term in full context.
• Preview a text.
• Preview a corpus as a run-on text.
• Check different levels of annotation of a text/corpus.

This video also briefly introduces the Whelk tool in #LancsBox. The Whelk tool provides information about how the search term is distributed across corpus files. It can be used, for example, to:

• Find absolute and relative frequencies of the search term in corpus files.
• Filter the results according to different criteria.
• Sort files according to absolute and relative frequencies of the search term.
