Welcome to WaCky! 1)

We are a community of linguists and information technology specialists who got together to develop a set of tools (and interfaces to existing tools) that will allow linguists to crawl a section of the web, process the data, index and search them.

We try to keep everything very laid-back and flexible (minimal constraint on data representation, programming language, etc.) to make it easier for people with different backgrounds and goals to use our resources and/or contribute to the project.

We also built a few Corpora you can Use the corpus directly (no download necessary) (documentation to follow shortly, promise). In the near future we'll have a web interface for direct online use of the corpora.

The project (including this website) is currently being sponsored by the LiMiNe project.

The old version of this website is still available here.
