Advanced Corpus Solutions for Humanities Researchers

This paper describes the design and implementation of an interface to corpora in 12 languages, stemming from the analysis of the needs of a diverse group of users: language teachers and language students, (non-computational) linguists, researchers in history and translation studies. We identified a set of requirements shared across the disciplines, as well as more specific requirements from the targeted user groups. The interface is designed to handle large-scale corpora of 20-500 million words.
