Search by Tag

Simply select the desired form from the tags menu. This menu is activated by clicking on the button [?] next to the "Part of Speech" box.

If you are familiar with the EAGLES nomenclature, you can enter the labels manually or change the one selected from the tags menu.

Enclitic pronouns must be retrieved with the special character <·> (the use of <#> is also supported). For example, if we wish to retrieve all infinitives followed by the enclitic nos, we would select the tag, Verb > Mood > Infinitive and the corresponding tags will be automatically inserted into the search box {V?N????}, then we would select the tags Pronoun > Personal > First person > Plural and the corresponding sequence will appear {-PC1?P????}. If we combine both of them into one tag {V?N????-PC1?P????} will retrieve the examples.

If we need to combine a lemma with any enclitic, the syntax should be [lemma·*]. For example: ir·*. If we would like to define the gerund of the verb ir followed by the first person singular pronoun, we can add to the syntax of the lemma the tags: V?G????-PC1?S???? and then we will recover the form yéndome.

The boxes "Form" and "Lemma" help us to narrow the search. If we want to search examples in which the 2nd person plural clitic pronoun has the form sos, we specify in the box "Form" sos and we select Pronoun > Personal > Clitic > Second Person Plural from the Tag menu: PC2?P????. The search box should now show: sos+{PC2?P????}.

Search by Lemma and Tag

It is also possible to combine lemma and tag. For example, to search for the first person plural of the imperfect indicative of the verb venir, just enter in the box "Lemma" venir and select Verb > Mode > Indicative > Imperfect > First person > Plural from the Tags menu. The query [venir]+{V?II1P?} is automatically generated and we will obtain all the results for veníamos. You can also add the form to the search. For example, we can search for the third person singular of the imperfect indicative of the verb tener with the variant tinía: tinía+[tener]+{V?II3S?}.

If your query is a sequence of several words, it is possible to enter them in the box "Form", such as the collocation a lo mejor, but they can also be found by searching for them as independent terms, pressing the [+] button and adding as many terms as needed or by specifying different lemmas or tags for each term.

Mapping, printing, and downloading results

When the results obtained in the advanced query do not meet your search requirements, they can be deleted from the generated map by clicking on the [X] button. More context can be obtained by clicking the [+] button. A new window will open offering two previous and two subsequent turns of the turn of speech that includes the queried form. It is also possible to listen to the recording aligned with the text.

The maps showing the results can be printed and downloaded (by clicking on the "DOWNLOAD RESULTS" button) in an Excel file containing the following information: COSER identifier, province, location name, latitude and longitude, postal code, searched form, turn of speech in which that form was found. This allows researchers to work directly with the data, to process data statistically and to produce customized maps.
