TY - CHAP A1 - Smith, George T1 - Refining queries on a treebank with XSLT filters. Approaching the universal quantifier T2 - Heterogeneity in focus: creating and using linguistic databases / Dipper, Stefanie, M. Götze and M. Stede (eds.) ; Working Papers of the SFB 632, Interdisciplinary studies on information structure ; Vol. 2 N2 - This paper discusses the use of XSLT stylesheets as a filtering mechanism for refining the results of user queries on treebanks. The discussion is within the context of the TIGER treebank, the associated search engine and query language, but the general ideas can apply to any search engine for XML-encoded treebanks. It will be shown that important classes of linguistic phenomena can be accessed by applying relatively simple XSLT templates to the output of a query, effectively simulating the universal quantifier for a subset of the query language.
