Unfortunately, they're described in the TODO parts of the CQP Query Language Tutorial and Corpus Encoding Tutorial. :-}

Contributions to the documentation would be very welcome …


For indexing a pre-aligned corpus, I very much recommend the cwb-align-import script included in the CWB/Perl API. "perldoc cwb-align-import" will give you a brief description of the required input formats and the import procedure.
