Searching the corpus

APLS provides powerful search capabilities for finding linguistic phenomena in the interview data. It all starts from the search page: https://apls.pitt.edu/labbcat/search. Once you create a search, you can export the results in a variety of formats.

Anatomy of the search page

There are four main sections of the search page, top to bottom:

  1. Participant/transcript filters
  2. Layered search matrix
  3. Match/display options
  4. Search progress bar

When you first load search, you’ll only see the first three; the progress bar only pops up once you actually click Search.
