> The image (1.6GB) can be downloaded here:

> To run it, you will need to install VirtualBox (although I believe

> The virtual machine runs Linux – however, I have set it up in such a

Description

CQPweb

CQPweb is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) for some elements of the CWB – and in particular, the CQP query processor.

CQPweb is designed to replicate the user-interface of the popular BNCweb tool, which also (in its most recent versions) uses CQP as a back-end. Like BNCweb, CQPweb uses a database alongside the CWB to provide extra functions beyond those built into CWB/CQP. However, unlike BNCweb, CQPweb can be used with any corpus.

CQPweb is especially suitable for students, non-linguists, and others for whom a Unix-like command-line is a terrifying prospect. […]
