CINTIL online concordancer (beta version) is a freely available online concordancing service to support the research usage of the CINTIL Corpus. This concordancer was developed and is mantained at the University of Lisbon by the NLX-Natural Language and Speech Group of the Department of Informatics, in cooperation with the REPORT Group of CLUL-Centro de Linguística da Universidade de Lisboa.
CINTIL concordancer allows the use of generic patterns to specify the occurrences to be retrieved. This permits to uncover linguistic structures of high complexity and use this service as a powerful research tool.
You may be interested also in using the companion tools.
CINTIL-Corpus Internacional do Português is a linguistically interpreted corpus of Portuguese. At present it is composed of 1 Million annotated tokens, each one of which verified by human expert annotators. The annotation comprises information on part-of-speech, open classes lemma and inflection, multi-word expressions pertaining to the class of adverbs and to the closed POS classes, and multi-word proper names (for named entity recognition).
This corpus is being developed and maintained at the University of Lisbon by the REPORT Group of CLUL-Centro de Linguística da Universidade de Lisboa in cooperation with NLX-Natural Language and Speech Group of the Department of Informatics. It was the first of its class to be developed for Portuguese in terms of the combined dimensions of size, depth of linguistic information, range of domains and sources, and level of accuracy. The present version is the most recent outcome of an ongoing and long-term endeavour to continuously enlarge and refine this corpus along all these dimensions, with the purpose of providing an enhanced resource for the research on the Linguistics of Portuguese and the development of language technology.
The CINTIL Corpus received several contributions:
Contact us using the following email address: 'cintil' concatenated with 'at' concatenated with 'di.fc.ul.pt'.
CINTIL is an ongoing endeavour to develop a corpus with increasingly enhanced accuracy. After having checked the underlying assumptions under which the current version was produced here, in case you have detected something that deserves to be improved, let us know.
Please note that this is not an online linguistic help-desk service, and questions unrelated to the CINTIL Corpus will not be attended.
