[CWB] Tei header tags in CWB queries

[lars nygaard]

Stefania,

The best way is to store the information about meta information (such as 
gender) for each speaker in a database, along with start and stop corpus 
positions. Then you can create a subcorpus file with corpus positions 
and import it into cqp with the UNDUMP command. Please refer to the Cqp 
query tutorial for more information. If you do not already have tools to 
do this, I will be happy to provide you with the necessary scripts.

regards,
lars nygaard
