CQPweb is a web application developed by Lancaster University, specifically by teams led by Professor Andrew Hardie. This platform is used for searching and analyzing large text corpora. The main purpose of CQPweb is to enable researchers, linguists, and students to easily search and analyze linguistic data. The platform supports complex queries using the Corpus Query Processor (CQP) language. Through CQPweb, users can search for specific words, phrases, and patterns in the text. It also allows for advanced statistical analyses and data visualizations. CQPweb supports multiple languages, making it valuable for the global research community. Using the platform requires basic knowledge of the CQP language, but it also features a user-friendly interface that simplifies work for beginners. Registration is required for access to most corpora, but some open corpora are available without login. Users can access various types of corpora, including news articles, literary works, spoken language, and academic texts. CQPweb also allows users to import their own corpora for personalized analyses. These analyses can include word frequency, collocations, concordances, and distribution across different corpus sections. The platform is useful for writing academic papers, doctoral dissertations, and other research projects. It is regularly updated and improved to meet user needs and maintain compatibility with new technologies.
