Free Resources

I have created a variety of freely available visualization tools. Included here is a tool, SLASH/A, developed by two of my former students. In addition to the visualization tools are a few corpora, mostly with simple inline annotations of lemma and part of speech.

Visualization tools

DoubleTree KWIC visualization DoubleTreeJS is a compact, interactive view of keyword in context (KWIC) and concordance information. [The original DoubleTree, in Java, is available at EURAC, or from this local copy.]
KWICis concordance visualization KWICis is a modern concordance (keyword in context = KWIC) visualization that is interactive and designed for structured data.
Slasha_v2 Slash/A is an ngram viewer for corpora with dated documents. It’s a tool created by two former students of mine: Slava Todorova and Maria Chinkina.
ProD tree visualization ProD is an experimental visualization for tree(-like) structures (e.g. constitutent structures, dependency structures, etc.)
Extended Linguistic Dependency Diagrams visualization Extended Linguistic Dependency Diagrams (xLDDs) is a visualization tool specialized for the graphical presentation of linguistic dependency structures and the dynamic interaction with these visualizations. Download local copy
Structured Parallel Coordinates visualization Structured Parallel Coordinates is an interactive visualization for corpus query results and ranked data. It is a specialized version of Parallel Coordinates. Download local copy

Corpora

Letters

All the letters corpora are annotated with information about the letters (author and/or addressee, date, etc.), as well as with token, lemma, and part of speech information (all automatically generated). The Barrett-Browning letters also have (some) named entities annotated, while the Bierce and Michelangelo letters have some additional structural annotations (e.g. salutation and closing, paragraphs, etc.). All corpora come in an XML version. The Barrett-Browning letters are in Text-Corpus Format (TCF), while the Bierce and Michelangelo letters are custom formats (DTDs provided). In addition, the Barrett-Browning and Michelangelo letters also come in other formats: individual letters as XML and all the letters as a tab delimited "vertical file". The letters are freely available under a Creative Commons License.
