The
Annotated Text Processor (ATP)
AISRI's Annotated Text Processor
(ATP) is a text processor designed to manage
interlinear text and to support the operations of several
kinds of linguistic analysis including parsing and glossing.
Note: ATP is currently a beta release. To download the beta please contact aisri@indiana.edu
In addition, any technical support questions may also be directed to aisri@indiana.edu

Interlinear text analysis
is a fundamental form of linguistic calculus in which
a text is organized word by word and aligned into blocks
with glosses or morphemic analyses listed across several
lines. In the example above, the first line contains the phonemic
words, the second parses the phonemic words into sequences
of morphemes, the third gives the gloss of each constituent
morpheme, and the fourth line provides a literal gloss
of the phoneme with which it's aligned. ATP automatically
reformats interlinear text as it is being entered. The
sample text is a text from Douglas Parks' collection
of South Band Pawnee texts being processed in ATP as
part of his Northern Caddoan Languages Documentation
Project.
ATP provides computer-aided glossing,
parsing, and annotation of linguistic text data. On
request ATP retrieves possible glosses or annotations
for a given word from a collection of prior annotations
in the same corpus. ATP's annotator interface (controls
along the right edge) supports interactive glossing,
annotation, and parsing operations during analysis and
document construction work. The example here shows the
result of a fuzzy search (highlighted in blue). A student
working with a new language may find fuzzy matches useful
in translation work.
ATP reads and searches IDD dictionary
databases and is designed to write text examples into
IDD dictionaries where the IDD user wishes to include
them. ATP's media player (at bottom center) allows the
user to work directly with sound and video data for
transcription and analysis.
The document-processing interface displays
the data model on which the current document is based
(tree control at the upper left corner) and a map of
the document as constructed (tree control at the lower
left corner). ATP provides writing and editing tools
found on most commercial word processors. The user has
full control over the fonts used to display text and
can take advantage of ATP's orthographic functions define
customized sort orders and keyboards.
