GrETEL 4 Afrikaans
This website hosts GrETEL for Afrikaans, a search engine for the Afrikaans NCHLT treebank. The construction of the treebank and the adaptation of GrETEL were part of the AfriBooms project.
What is GrETEL?
GrETEL stands for Greedy Extraction of Trees for Empirical Linguistics. It is a user-friendly search engine for the exploitation of treebanks. It comes in two formats:
Example-based search
In this search mode you can use a natural language example as a starting point for searching a treebank [?] with limited knowledge about tree representations and formal query languages. [?]
XPath search
In this search mode you have to build the XPath query yourself. We strongly recommend to use the XPath search tool only when you are an experienced XPath user!
