Frequency Analysis

When you query for different tokens or different constructions, it might be interesting to see their frequencies instead of just the list of results. In that case, ANNIS allows to to perform an automatic analysis of frequencies.

Let us look at an example and assume that we want to know how often the French past participle is realised with the correct ending (ignoring feminine and plural endings for the example) and how often it is realised with the infinitive ending -er. In order to get these results, we formulate the query and then select "Frequency Analysis" from the option "More" as seen in figure 1.

In the following screen you can still adjust your query, but we strongly discouragement you from doing so, since the query might get really slow. If you want to add factors, you better start anew, i.e. formulate a new query and then start the Frequency Analysis again.

If you click on "Perform frequency analysis" at the bottom, you see your results as in figure 2.

As you can see in figure 2, we receive a full list of auxiliaries and verb forms with their respective frequencies. It is obvious that there are false positives like Tiser, but we also have interesting examples like [avoir] regarder. This list can now also be downloaded as a text file for further processing by clicking "Download as CSV".
