Natural Language Processing
Lexa is a free legacy set of programs for corpus processing. It is designed to tag and lemmatize texts or series of texts. The website for Lexa is no longer maintained or active, but may still be viewed via the Internet Archive.
Natural Language Processing
LEXICO was an interactive system designed to assist lexographers in text analysis. It assisted in storing, editing and concording texts, lemmatizing word lists and generating 'slips' containing a single word with its lemma, context and source.
Visualization
Leximancer is an application for identifying key concepts in a text, and exploring the results through interactive visualizations and data exports. It includes concept and network cloud visualizations, a sentiment lens, a query system, and multiple data export options for futher analysis. The system accepts texts in a variety of formats including plain text, CSV, HTML and XML, and supports 17 languages beyond English. Users can either purchase a license for the desktop version (Windows and OS X supported), or purchase access to the online LexiPortal, which charges based on months of usage rather than on a subscription basis. A free trial of the LexiPortal is also available.
Lexipedia is a metadictionary displaying a semantic map of parts of speech related to the word of inquiry.
Analysis
Lexomics is a free tool for analyzing the frequency, distribution and arrangement of words in large-scale patterns.
Visualization
Lexos is a free, web-based workflow for text analysis offered by Wheaton College's Lexomics Project. Lexos is the most recent and distinct iteration of the Lexomics system of tools, enabling users to upload a text and use the Lexos interface to apply transformations, visualizations, scrubbing and analytic processes without needing to re-add the text for each step.
