INL BlackLab

From the official BlackLab site: "BlackLab is a corpus retrieval engine built on top of Apache Lucene. It allows fast, complex searches with accurate hit highlighting on large, tagged and annotated, bodies of text. It was developed at the Institute of Dutch Lexicology (INL) to provide a fast and feature-rich search interface on our historical and contemporary text corpora. BlackLab is licensed under the Apache License 2.0." BlackLab is not an end-user application, but an extension to Apache Lucene. It requires programming experience to use. Several sites have so far been built using BlackLab. The BlackLab FAQ at https://github.com/INL/BlackLab/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions lists several of these. BlackLab is very useful as search engine for morphologically adorned corpora. The principal search language syntax is similar to that of traditional corpus search engine tools such as the Corpus Workbench or the Sketch Engine.

Intelligent Archive

Intelligent Archive is a Java application for stylometry, or computational and statistical analysis of style in texts, produced by the University of Newcastle's Centre for Literary and Linguistic Computing (CLLC). It can handle corpora of plain text, HTML, XML and TEI texts. IA enables you to easily organise texts into sets, manage metadata, generate word frequencies, handle XML tags, and split texts in various ways to generate results that can be exported for further analysis in statistical software. It includes some experimental stylometry techniques developed at the CLLC and special features for handling literary texts such as generating word frequencies for speaking characters in plays.
