Towards a Simple and Full-Featured Treebank Query Language

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |

Abstract

Netgraph query language is a query system for linguistically annotated treebanks that aims to be sufficiently powerful for linguistic needs and yet simple enough for not requiring any programming or mathematical skill from its users. We provide an introduction to the system along with a set of examples how to search for some frequent linguistic phenomena.

We also offer a comparison to the querying power of TGrep – a traditional and well known treebank query system.
