INTEX: A Corpus Processing System

INTEX is a text processor; it is usually used to parse corpora of several megabytes. It includes several built-in large coverage dictionaries and grammars represented by graphs; the user may add his/her own dictionaries and grammars. These tools are applied to texts in order to locate lexical and syntactic patterns, remove ambiguities, and tag words. INTEX builds concordances and indexes of all types of patterns; it is used by linguists to analyse corpora, but can also be viewed as an information retrieval system.
