<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>
_JJ _NN1 <br>
<br>
which would supposedly look for sequences of an adjective followed
by noun according to the CLAWS tag set. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>

members,<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
You may access it from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://124.193.83.252/cqp/">http://124.193.83.252/cqp/</a> using
test/test as username/password. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
