Korp update

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,

Korp update

Happy Friday salutations! As previously hinted, we'll all be able to greet this coming weekend with a spring in our steps, a smile playing on our lips and a new version of Korp running on the web!

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly

Much I marvelled at the ungainly amount of changes in this release, as I'm sure you will. Including, but not limited to:

  • A pretty major rewrite of the parallel search view. Yes, ladles and gentlespoons, turn that frown induced by previous versions upside down and search in parallel to your hearts content! We aim to please.
  • You'll like the new Reading Mode, check the link next to the kwic's page flipper. So much easier on the eyes and patience alike.
  • 'any word' in extended search has been replaced with simply leaving the text field under 'word' empty.
  • Flip over to the lab and enjoy searching in the siberian german corpus! A special shout-out to Malin for this one.
  • Martin has hardly been asleep either and he's happy to report that the books in Litteraturbanken can now be searched, head over to the lab and see. As usual there's new finish-swedish corpora and the wikipedia and blogg mix are being prepared for an update, though it might be a few days still.

 

For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door-

With the annual Språkbanken workshop event around the corner, expect an onslaught of Korp releases through September and October with new features of all colors and sizes.

A tip of our hats,
