Explore the {{appName}} corpus.

Use the {{defaultCondenseType}}, node, and search pads to specify material of interest.

Copy individual results to the node pad to compare them to each other.

Tweak the way you display your corpus and highlight your results with a variety of colors.

Describe your study and export your work.

Download your query and results and metadata.

{{defaultCondenseType.capitalize()}} pad

Enter a reference here, such as {{exampleSectionHtml|safe}}.

Copy {{defaultCondenseType}}s to here by clicking on a {{defaultCondenseType}} reference in the result list.

Click Go to fetch the results.

The results of the references appear in the result list, with a negative sequence number.

Node Pad

Enter a node or list of nodes here, such as 123 or 123,456,789.

Get nodes here by clicking on a sequence number of a result.

Get a node here by clicking on its number (when the option show nodes is checked).

Click Go to fetch the results, they appear with a negative sequence number.

Search Pad

Enter a search template here.

Click Go to fetch the results, they appear with a positive sequence number.

If the query is not valid, you get a message why.

The Corpus tab contains links to relevant documentation.

Color map for query results

Queries consist of several atoms: the nodes you search for. The parts of the results that match these atoms can be highlighted with different colors. By default, all parts get yellow highlights, but you can provide a color mapping to map atom positions to colors.

You find the color map under query highlighting under the search pad. If it is empty, click the + button. A color selector appears. You can press the + button again to add as many color selectors as you wish. You can remove them by pressing the - button. You can select different colors in all these boxes. The n-th atom of each query result will be highlighted in the color of the n-th color box.

Color map for edges

In pretty displays, edge information may be visible, see show / hide selected edge features under the Options tab.

You can color edge information in order to see which nodes have edges to which nodes. By default, no edges are colored, but you can provide an edge color mapping.

You find the edge color map under the edge highlighting tab under the search pad.

If it is empty, you can add entries by clicking an edge feature in a pretty display: these are marked by having the character or ⇥ in ↦ them. After the click, three entries are added.

In each of these entries you see the name of the edge feature, a color select box, a - button to remove the entry, and an edge specification.

The edge specification may take three forms:

fromto: one edge between these nodes;

fromany: all edges from this node;

anyto: all edges to this node.

In this way you can color all edges to and from a specific node.

You can color as many edges as you want by clicking edges repeatedly.

Result list

Show the text in the {{defaultTextFormat}} text format: see the text format option.

Group results by {{defaultCondenseType}}: see the condense option.

Click the triangle to expand a result into a pretty view.

If nothing happens, check the condense option: nodes that are bigger than the condense node type, will not be expanded into pretty view. Either uncheck the condense option or select a bigger condense type.

Click the expand all checkbox to collapse and open all results.

Click the sequence number to add the nodes in this result to the node pad.

Click the reference, to add it to the {{defaultCondenseType}}pad.

Use the navigation button to walk through the results.

Results that you have expanded remain in view.

Options

Text format Show the results in a text format of your choice: original script, transcription, or phonetic representations may be offered, depending on how the corpus has been created.

Base types These types of nodes count as base types. The components of base nodes will not be broken down in pretty displays. Highlights of base nodes consist of colored backgrounds, highlights of other nodes consist of colored boxes around the nodes.

Jobs

Your job has a name, shown at the top above the {{defaultCondenseType}}--pad. Your browser remembers your jobs, and you can switch between those jobs. You can also export jobs as files if you need to use a job across browsers, or if you want to share a job with others. And, of course, you can import jobs from file.

Import a job from a file. This must be a JSON file, preferably one saved by TF.

Start a new job. The current job will be saved, and you will be prompted for a different name for the new job.

Duplicate the current job. The current job will be remembered as is, and you will be prompted for a different name for the duplicate job.

Provide metadata for the job. Provide your name, title, and description (markdown is supported). There are some additional controls here to *export* the data of your job, see Export below.

Save the current job on file. The file will be saved to your donwloads folder. a different name for the new job.

Rename the current job. You will be prompted for a new name.

Clear the current job. The information of this job will be reset to the default values, but the name will remain unchanged.

Delete the current job. Your browser will no longer remember it. After this, the default job will be selected.

Export

Export your results. Click to provide your name, title, and description (markdown is supported).

Below the metadata you entered there are two buttons:

: Print / PDF-friendly version The exported page opens in a new window or tab, in a form that is especially handy to save as PDF (from within the browser).
The PDF will contain a complete description of your work, with persistent links to the corpora and the tools, with additional metadata, and with the information you specify. It reflects the results as you see them on your screen.

: Download data Download the data of the current job, including its results. corresponding to the current job:

(1) a file resultsx.tsv with all your query results (uncondensed). This file can directly be opened in Excel. Every row corresponds with a result tuple of nodes. It contains result sequence number, a section reference to where the result occurs, and fields for the member nodes. Every member of the result tuple corresponds to a few columns: node number, node type, full text, and features that you have used in the search template for that node.
Hint: If you want to include more features, use them with a trivial condition in your template, like so: fff* where fff is the name of your feature. The * operator means: no value restriction.

(2) a markdown file about.md with the metadata and description.

(3) .tsv files corresponding to the results of the contents of the pads: these files contain the node numbers only.

(4) a file job.json with the job information, exactly as what you get when you press .

Tip Archive the PDF and data files in an online repository, and you can cite your work properly.
