Browse by interview
The browsing page is the starting point for exploring the data. It lists all interview data available in the platform together with metadata on the speakers. You can filter by place or year of recording and by speakers and interviewers. Transcripts and their annotations can be viewed with synchronised audio playback and various functionality for closer inspection of transcripts.
Browse by interview
Query
The query page is the place for systematic searches on the data data including transcribed and normalized forms, lemmas (base forms) and part-of-speech tags (word class categories). Queries are formulated in the widely used CQP languages. Results are displayed as Keywords-In-Context (KWIC). From each search result, you can go back to the wider transcript context and audio.
