Getting started with browsing the PAISÀ corpus
This interface offers online access to the PAISÀ corpus, a collection of about 380 thousand Italian web texts. The corpus can be browsed to search for example sentences as well as for full text documents. Search results can be downloaded or inspected online. In particular, the analysis of syntactic dependency relations (such as subject or object relations) is supported by the interactive visualization interface Extended Linguistic Dependency Diagrams (xLDD).
The interface aims at providing an easy and powerful tool for making use of the corpus. It is designed to support users with different needs in terms of usability and querying-power. This is implemented by providing four different modes of access:
- the Simple Search allows for easy browsing in "Google style"
- the Advanced Search offers menus for advanced search settings
- the CQP Search provides command-line access, supporting the CQP (Corpus Query Processor) query syntax
- the Filters allow for selecting texts and creating subcorpora
