“…The character of the syntactic structures in the treebanks in PaQu is in accordance with the de facto standard for syntactic structures in treebanks for the Dutch language (Hoekstra et al, 2003;Van Noord et al, 2011), de ned in projects for the construction of Dutch treebanks such as CGN (for spoken Dutch; Oostdijk et al, 2002) and LASSY (for written Dutch; Van Noord et al, 2013). They are tree structures of a particular kind.…”

“…This result was achieved in the CLARIAH project, the successor of CLARIN-NL. This aspect has been heavily used in Van Noord and Odijk (2016), where it is shown that certain non-normative variants of Dutch construction only occur in a speci c region, e.g. hun 'them' as a subject only occurs in the Netherlands part of the corpus, while 'm 'him' as a subject only occurs in the Flanders part of the corpus.…”

“…These include LASSY-Small, the Wikipedia part of LASSY-Large (Van Noord et al, 2013), and the treebank of the Spoken Dutch Corpus (Oostdijk et al, 2002). One can also upload one's own Dutch text corpus.…”

“…It also provides suggestions for completing the Xpath expression that is being constructed. In addition, extensions of Xpath originally developed for the desktop Alpino corpus tool DACT (Van Noord et al, 2013) can be used: macros, which can be used for abbreviating o en occurring complex Xpath expressions, and query pipelines, which are useful for improving performance.…”

“…PaQu has been used for carrying out research, inter alia for an analysis of the Dutch intensi ers heel, erg, zeer (each meaning 'very') by Odijk (2015a) and Odijk (2016), and for an analysis of normative and non-normative variants of Dutch constructions by Odijk (2015b) and Van Noord and Odijk (2016). It is also heavily used in the Taalportaal, a digital grammar for Dutch (Van der Wouden et al, 2016), where many of the links with queries for corpus examples use the PaQu interface (see Bouma et al (2015), Van der Wouden et al (2015) and chapter 24).…”

The Parse and Query (PaQu) Application

In this chapter we describe the web application PaQu (Parse and Query), and carry out a small case study to illustrate its use. PaQu is an application for searching in Dutch treebanks and for analysing the search results. One can search in the LASSY and CGN treebanks, or upload one's own Dutch corpus, which is then parsed and made available for search and analysis. PaQu o ers, next to an interface to formulate Xpath queries, a dedicated interface for searching for dependency triples. This makes it easy to search in treebanks for grammatical dependencies, which would otherwise require very complex queries. It o ers extensive functionality for analysing the search results. The dedicated search interface makes PaQu a prime example of the kind of applications that CLARIN promotes. The case study provides an analysis of the syntactic selectional di erences between two near-synonymous verbs. IntroductionIn this chapter we describe the web application PaQu 1 (Parse and Query), and carry out a small case study to illustrate its use. PaQu is an application for searching in treebanks (i.e. text corpora in which each sentence has been assigned a syntactic structure) and for analysing the search results. PaQu was developed by the University of Groningen in the CLARIN-NL project and is an extension of the LASSY Dependency Relations Search application originally developed by Tjong Kim Sang et al. (2010). Here is a direct link to the application and its documentation.
