TXM

TXM is a free and open-source cross-platform Unicode, XML & TEI based text analysis software, supporting Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It is also available as a J2EE standard compliant portal software (GWT based) for online access with access control built in (see a demo portal: http://portal.textometrie.org/demo). It offers a comprehensive range of analysis tools (concordances, collocate search, frequency lists, etc.) based on the powerfull CQP full text search engine (http://cwb.sourceforge.net) and a range of statistical tools (factorial analysis, clustering, cooccurrence analysis, etc.) based on R packages (http://www.r-project.org). It can analyze three types of textual corpora with various source formats:

  • Written texts (possibly aligned to facsimile images): system clipboard content, TXT (raw text), XML, XML-TEI formats
  • Speech transcriptions (synchronized to audio or video): Word/Writer/TXT based, XML-TRS (from Transcriber software) formats
  • Parallel corpora (several languages per corpus): XML-TMX format
It lemmatizes and POS tags all texts on the fly during the import process by using the TreeTagger software.

Computational Literary Genre Stylistics

Submitted by Christof Schöch on

This junior research group is located at the intersection of Romance Philology (esp. French and Spanish Literary Studies) and Applied Computer Science (esp. Machine Learning and Text Mining). Our overall objective is to establish a methodological convergence between latest methods of quantitative analysis of literary texts on the one hand, and basic issues in the field of genre theory and stylistics, on the other hand.
