Coquery: A free corpus query tool
Project description
Coquery is a free corpus query tool for linguists, lexicographers, translators, and anybody who wishes to search and analyse text corpora. It is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X computers.
You can either build your own corpus from a collection of text files (either PDF, MS Word, OpenDocument, HTML, or plain text) in a directory on your computer, or install a corpus module for one of the supported corpora (the corpus data files are not provided by Coquery).

Tutorials and documentation can be found on the Coquery website: http://www.coquery.org
Features
An incomplete list of the things you can do with Coquery:
Corpora
Use the corpus manager to install one of the supported corpora
Build your own corpus from PDF, HTML, .docx, .odt, or plain text files
Filter your query for example by year, genre, or speaker gender
Choose which corpus features will be included in your query results
View every token that matches your query within its context
Queries
Match tokens by orthography, phonetic transcription, lemma, or gloss, and restrict your query by part-of-speech
Use string functions e.g. to test if a token contains a letter sequence
Use the same query syntax for all installed corpora
Automate queries by reading them from an input file
Save query results from speech corpora as Praat TextGrids
Analysis
Summarize the query results as frequency tables or contingency tables
Calculate entropies and relative frequencies
Fetch collocations, and calculate association statistics like mutual information scores or conditional probabilities
Visualizations
Use bar charts, heat maps, or bubble charts to visualize frequency distributions
Illustrate diachronic changes by using time series plots
Show the distribution of tokens within a corpus in a barcode or a beeswarm plot
Databases
Either connect to easy-to-use internal databases, or to powerful MySQL servers
Access large databases on a MySQL server over the network
Create links between tables from different corpora, e.g. to provide phonetic transcriptions for tokens in an unannotated corpus
Supported corpora
Coquery already has installers for the following linguistic corpora and lexical databases:
If the list is missing a corpus that you want to see supported in Coquery, you can either write your own corpus installer in Python using the installer API, or you can [contact](http://www.coquery.org/contact) the Coquery maintainers and ask them for assistance.
