This web site contains a lot of useful information about concordancing and concordancers. If you are interested in concordancing and corpus linguistics in general and are looking for relevant information, this is perhaps an ideal place to begin your search. Maintained by Peter Ruthven-Stuart of Hokuriku University, Japan.

Presented by Laboratoire d'Automatique Documentaire et Linguistique, University Paris 7 - Denis Diderot. Visit their Homepage for more details. (25 Feb 2000)
CorpusWeb
This is a FREE (at least for now) "spider" software package that allows you to download any Website or any part of a Website and to convert it in an ordinary electronic corpus. It can download, for example, the online edition of the day of any newspaper available on the Internet.  (25 Feb 2000). NOTE: CorpusWeb is a module of the GlossaNet software, and GlossaNet uses INTEX programs. For further information about GlossaNet, click here and for information about INTEX, click here.

The WebCorp Project
Want to use entire Cyberspace as one huge linguistic database? The Research and Development Unit for English Studies of the University of Liverpool has recently developed a prototype version of an Internet search tool called "WebCorp" which will let you do just that. You simply submit a word or phrase for which instances of usage are required. WebCorp then visits all the web sites and automatically extract concordance lines from them. I find it a VERY useful tool, despite the facts that response is rather slow, concordance span too limited, and does not accept regular expression search, etc. (Updated: May 13, 2001)
PICLE Online KWIC Concordancer 
PICLE is the Polish sub-corpus of the International Corpus of Learner English (ICLE), containing about 330,000 words of running text (over 500 essays).

The MS-DOS version is provided by Takashi Hamaguchi of Japan, and the Windows version has been developed at and provided by Center National de la Recherche Scientifique (The WinBrill, however, is not working properly on my computer. Humm...). Also see SUGIURA and SOMEYA (updated on Oct. 5, 2000) for more about Brill Tagger, including installation. (both in Japanese). WebTagger, or Brill Tagger on the Web,  is now available from Professor Sugiura's Website. Click here for details. (as of June 19, 2000)

PC-KIMMO
A processor for two-level phonology and morphology, for MS-DOS, Windows, Macintosh and UNIX.
Link Grammar Parser
The Link Grammar Parser, developed by Davy Temperley, Daniel Sleator, and  John Lafferty of Carnegie Mellon University, is a syntactic parser of English. Given a sentence, the system assigns to it a syntactic structure, which consists of set of labeled links connecting pairs of words. as well as a more familiar constituent tree like the following:
>> I love an apple pie. 
>> (S (NP I)
       (VP love
          (NP an apple pie))
     .)
You can now use the parser online. Click here for more detail.
ApplePie Parser
The parser, developed by Satoshi Sekine and Ralph Grishman of New York University, is a "bottom-up probabilistic chart parser which finds the parse tree with the best score by best-first search algorithm..." The parser generates a syntactic tree just like the Penn Tree Bank bracketing. It generally works fine with a short and simple sentence like the following (input parameter and value: PRINT_STYLE 2):
>> I love an apple pie.
>> I love an apple pie. (S (NPL (PRP I)) (VP (VBP love) (NP (NPL (DT an) (NN apple)) (NN pie))) (. -PERIOD-))

Sekine's very informative  PhD Dissertation,Corpus based Parsing and Sublanguage Studies (May 1998), is also available from here. (as of June 11, 2000)
PC-PATR
A unification-based syntactic parser for MS-DOS, Window, Macintosh, and UNIX. Click here for sample syntactic trees with this parser.

"To each constituent function, category and/or feature labels can be assigned. The tool makes use of a template function with which a selection of structures can be built automatically." The tree editor was designed by the TOSCA Research Group, and is currently distributed, albeit on a commercially basis, by MOOSE Language Technology.

The program was developed by Michael O'Donnell of University of Edinburgh and is offered as freeware. Run on both Windows and Unix, but pre-installation of Tcl/Tk, a scripting language engine, is required. Click here for information about RST.  (April 16, 2000).
Text Analyzer
This text analysis tool provides information on the readability and complexity of a text, as well as statistics on word frequency and character count. You just enter or paste your text in the box provided and get the results in a few seconds. Provided by lexicool.com.

TATOE-- Text Analysis Tool with Object Encoding (for Win 95, 98 and NT) 
TATOE is a tool for computer-assisted text analysis. It helps you mark-up your text in particular ways so that you can search for relevant information more easily and sytematically. Go to TATOE Homepage to find out more about this FREE software. TATOE is implemented in VisualWorks Smalltalk, and was developed by Melina Alexa (ZUMA, Mannheim, Germany) and Lothar Rostek (GMD / Institut fuer Integrierte Publikations und Informationssysteme, GMD / IPSI, Darmstadt, Germany). See Alexa, M. & L. Rostek (1996) "Computer-assisted corpus-based text analysis with TATOE." [PDF file].  (August 2, 2001)

WinSAL (Media Enterprise)
Speech signal analysis tool with video function (for Windows). It provides an easy-to-use package of numerous speech analysis functions for sound-wav-files and video-avi-files. (A trial version used to be downloadable, but it seems no longer available.)
SUGI SpeechAnalyzer
State-of-the-art commercial PC package software (for Win 95, 98, and NT 4.0) developed by Dr. Miyoko Sugitou, a leading authority in the study of spoken language. Capable of doing most of the staff a researcher in speech analysis wants to do. A bit expensive (94,800 Yen + tax, as of April 28, Y2K), but quite useful.
SoundWalker (Discourse Transcription Software)
This freeware is basically a "glorified digital tape deck" developed to help streamline the transcription process of digitized sound (WAV) files. It has the "benefit of being able to systematically "walk" through a  recording, repeating short segments for a specified number of repetitions, then moving on to the next segment. The segments overlap, so that the transcriber does not become disoriented."
SoundScriber
A freeware program (for Windows 95) specifically designed to aide in transcription of digitized sound files, with features like variable speed playback and "walking" (i.e. playing a small stretch of the file several times, then advances to a new piece, overlapping slightly with the previous one -- thus making it possible to transcribe continuously without having to manually pause or rewind the recording).  These features, incidentally, also make this "digital tape deck" an ideal tool for dictation exercise. Download it now!  => Also see the Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English in the Corpus Resources section above.
SuperLab -- cognitive experiment software
単語や文の認知にかかる反応時間を正確に測定したいときに便利なソフトウエア (for Window and Macintosh)。記憶や認知に関する心理学的な実験でしばしば使用されているものだが、言語学的な実験にも使える。(『言語学の方法』 坂本勉/岩波書店 1999(第5章 言語実験の実際 p.152)や 『英語リーディングの認知メカニズム』 編著:門田修平/くろしお出版 2000 (p.36) などでも紹介されています)。

同時通訳的手法による英日・日英機械翻訳の研究
名古屋大学大学院工学研究科情報工学専攻・稲垣研究室の「話し言葉処理グループ」(Special Interest Group of Spoken Language Processing) では自然な話し言葉の「漸進的機械翻訳システム」の開発に取り組んでいる。従来の機械翻訳システムのように1文の入力が完了してからその統語解析や語句変換を行うのでなく、最小入力ユニット単位で漸進的に原言語を目標言語にオンライン変換して出力するもので、いわば「同時通訳的」な手法による機械翻訳システムの構築を目指している。(January 20, 2001) 同研究室メンバーである松原茂樹氏(名古屋大学言語文化部)が 2001年7月21日に行なった日本通訳学会第4回特別例会での講演要旨(「同時通訳システムの実現を目指して -- 自動通訳技術の現状と今後の課題」)。
