Help with Search for Interlinear Glossed Texts in the TypeCraft database
Search
Search is operated from the navigation bar of the TypeCraft wiki. In the second from the top information box labeled *typecraft search* you have access to Text search and Phrase search.
Text search
Text search allows you to find Interlinear Glossed Texts in the TypeCraft IGT database.
Since TypeCraft data is structured throughout, you can use many different search criteria to find the type of text you are looking for. You also can decide if you would like to look only in your own data, or if you intend a general search in TypeCraft data.
Using Metadata information as search term, you can for example ask for the name of the text owner, when the text was modified last, and of course for the language. Strings or sub-strings of the text title or the title translation can be used directly as search terms.
Valence over Sense annotations as well as Gloss and Part of Speech tags can be used to select texts that contain them. One or several tags in combination can be specified as search terms, and their scope can be defined.
Also strings or sub-strings contained in the Note field can be used to search for texts.
Go to the Text search on your navigation bar to look for the other search options.
The screenshot above shows a partial result for a search of texts that contain thematic annotations; the GLOSS tags BEN(eficiary) and GOAL were used as search terms, and 38 texts were found with 127 instances for the search term GOAL and 154 instances for the search term BEN(eficiary).
Phrase search
Phrase search is equally fine-grained as text search. Next to specifying textual, phrasal, word and morpheme properties in order to inform your search, you can define the scope of your search.
For example: When defining two Gloss tags as search terms you can choose the search scope such that you only look for glosses that specify the same morpheme, as it would be the case for the 3SG and PRES gloss tags relative to the English verb suffix -s in the word goe-s.
You might instead define that certain search terms should occur on the same word, or occur in the same phrase.
As for text search, also the result of a phrase search is displayed showing the number of phrases found and the number of instances that were found for each of the search terms
