[CWB] Announcement: Another CWB/CQPweb setup in China

["Andrés Chandía"]

Hi JM
We've been able of making a query like the one you describe, our tagset is
personalized so if we want to look for a "Name folloewd by an Adjective" we do next
at the SQL: "_N* _A*" (wothout the doublequotes

if we want to look for a
secondary tag like, let say gender, the query is like this: {M} (for masculine)

that means:
query for primary anotation tag = _*
query for secondary anotation tag
= {*}

What we haven't been able to do is find the combination to query for a
"Noun Masculine" for instance, we have tried many combinations with no success (
_N{M} - {N/M}, etc.) so if somebody could help us with this we would appreciate it a lot.

Hi,
       
       I am a little (or quite) confused
about the syntax of CQPweb       queries (simple query language). I went to the wonderful
resource       Ray Wu has made available so that I could see how it works since       we are
in the process of installing CQPweb as an interface for our       corpora. I wasn't able to
complete any search using the simple       query language, though. I'm sure it is something
very simple that       I am missing.  From what I understand reading the document 'simple     
 query language syntax', I should be able to do the following in       the simple query
mode:
       
       _JJ _NN1 
       
       which would supposedly look
for sequences of an adjective followed       by noun according to the CLAWS tag set. 
   
   
       OK, I'm conducting the searches in the Old Icelandic Corpus which       has
been supposedly tagged using the CLAWS7 tagset (according to       the information in
"View corpus metadata". When I do this,       however, I get a message saying
"Your query had no results. There       are no matches for your query." This is very
puzzling because you       would imagine that there would be occurrences of adjectives      
followed by nouns. Doing it the opposite order (_NN1 _JJ) gives me       the same results.
What is even more puzzling is that I also get       nothing using single POS labels such as
_NN1 by itself or _JJ. 
       
       Am I doing something wrong or is this due to
the fact that this       particular corpus uses a completely different tagset? When you      
access a CQPWeb corpus, is there any way to retrieve the tags that       have been used in the
corpus? The only relevant info I find in       this corpus is the link to the CLAWS7 tagset
but, as I said, this       doesn't seem to be the right information. Going into the CQP      
syntax mode and doing "show +pos" doesn't work.

Dear        
members,
         
         We are pleased to announce another CWB/CQPweb setup in
China and         we dub it BFSU CQPweb. It is closely modelled after Hardie's own        
(sorry Andrew, we're badly in need of imagination) and currently         features more than 20
corpora, including two Brown family         cousins (CLOB and Crown) developed at Beijing
Foreign Studies         Unversity by Dr. Xu Jiajing and Professor Liang Maocheng. 
      
  
         You may access it from http://124.193.83.252/cqp/ using         test/test as
username/password. 
         
         We'd like to take this opportunity to thank
the CWB team for         their wonderful work and generosity. It is great fun to build        
our work on their shoulders.
         

Best,
                 Ray
