[CWB] A formal specification of CQL?

[Hardie, Andrew]

We generally call it "CQP Syntax" rather than "Corpus Query Language", although lots of people working on other software have gravitated to the latter.

The code of the parser is written as a Bison grammar, which *is* thus in effect a formal specification!

It's in cqp/parser.y (see also parser.l).

See:

http://sourceforge.net/p/cwb/code/HEAD/tree/cwb/trunk/cqp/parser.y

And to search the list, use

site:devel.sslmit.unibo.it/pipermail/cwb

in a Google search.

best

Andrew.

Not to my knowledge.

There's been a thread on a similar topic before.
Is there any search engine available to search
in all CWB mailing list archive at once? (I can't
remember when it was).

For fun, you can have a look at the network of
the CQP parser states here:
