About the SEAlang Library Vietnamese Text Corpus

This mononlingual corpus consists of Vietnamese texts published on the Internet, sampled here for research and educational purposes.  We are using a combination of newspaper, literary, and Wikipedia texts.

- context searches show how the search target appears in context, taking both leading and trailing collocates (or neighboring words) into account. This search returns a merged list of leading and trailing collocates.

- collocate searches are better for focusing on the search target's immediate neighbor. This search returns separate lists of leading and trailing collocates.

- merged view allows for fast switching between collocate and context views.  Try brief first - downloaded pages may be very large, and a slow browser may fall behind in displaying the detailed view. The Go! button invokes the brief view.

- raw contexts show the search word in context without any attempt at analysis or sanity-checking (local segmentation that helps ensure that a real word has been found). Usage tips

Because the underlying text corpus may be quite large (more than 50 million characters in this implementation), results may be taken from a random sample of hits.  For common words, this means that sample contexts and exact collocate frequencies will vary from run to run.

Clicking on a word/collocate with the mouse starts a new search: yellow searches for contexts, and black searches for collocates.
