Title: Wmatrix: a web-based corpus processing environment Abstract: Wmatrix is the web-based front end to the CLAWS (part-of-speech tagger) and USAS (semantic tagger) corpus annotation tools. Wmatrix also provides for production of frequency lists, comparison of those frequency lists, and KWIC concordances. The tag wizard guides the user step-by-step through the process of uploading data, to assign part-of-speech and semantic tags, then comparing data to standard corpora, and finally seeing data in context. Files are stored in workareas which are like directories (or containers) for one text and the analysis carried out on the text. Wmatrix's practical application and effectiveness will be illustrated on different types of text contents such as engineering, business, science-fiction and everyday language use. |
