The Corpus Tab
This is the first tab you are presented with when you start QWICK. On this
tab you select the corpora which will form your working corpus, and against
which any subsequent queries will be run. You can
return to this tab at any point to add or remove corpora from your working
corpus.
The Display
The Corpus Tab consists of three sections.
The Available Corpora
On the left hand side of the tab is a list of all corpora available. You can
select a corpus by clicking the checkbox next to it, or click again to
deselect it. Your working corpus is made up of all selected corpora.
The only corpora currently available to you are the ones on
this CD. There is a
further utility under development which will enable you to add
your own corpora to the list of available
corpora for Qwick. For further information please have a look at the
website.
Corpus Description
This panel shows any information that is available for the last corpus you
selected.
Working Corpus Information
This panel shows the total number of words that your working corpus currently
consists of.
The Actions
Before you can move on to the next tab you need a working corpus. You have
two ways to create this:
- create a new working corpus by selecting from those available
- load a working corpus that you saved on a previous occasion by clicking
the load button on the toolbar.
If you want to save your working corpus you can click on the save button on
the toolbar.
When you are satisfied with your working corpus click on the
concordance tab to move on to the next stage.
