  1. Regular Expressions and Xkwic LING 5200 Computational Corpus Linguistics Martha Palmer February 28, 2006

  2. grep/egrep • X+ instead of xx* • (xxx|yyy) xxx OR yyy • ? Matches a single character of the preceding character set, or nothing BASED on Kevin Cohen’s LING 5200

  3. More grepping/egrepping • /corpora/celex/english/epw/epw.cd • Find all capitalized words • grep ^'[0-9][0-9]*.[A-Z]' epw.cd | wc –l • OR • egrep ^'[0-9]+.[A-Z]‘epw.cd | wc –l BASED on Kevin Cohen’s LING 5200

  4. Homework 3 • Please give me command AND results! • 1. In the file /corpora/celex/english/epw/epw.cd, find all words that contain only upper-case letters, e.g. USSR and VTOL. • ANS:158 • grep '^[0-9][0-9]*\\[A-Z][A-Z]*\\' epw.cd | wc –l • egrep '^[0-9]+\\[A-Z]+\\' epw.cd | wc –l • egrep ^'[0-9]+[\][A-Z]+\\' epw.cd | wc -l • egrep ^'[0-9]+.[A-Z]+\\' epw.cd | wc –l BASED on Kevin Cohen’s LING 5200

  5. Homework 3 • 2. How many entries have a syllable that ends with a 4-consonant cluster? • ANS: 45 • egrep 'CCCC]' epw.cd (why not \] )? 56 • grep 'CCCC]' epw.cd 56 • grep 'CCCC]' epw.cd | grep –v ‘ed[ \\]’ 36 • egrep 'CCCC]\\' epw.cd 45 BASED on Kevin Cohen’s LING 5200

  6. Homework 3 • 3. Find all multi-word terms in which only the first letter is capitalized, e.g. Colorado potato beetle. • ANS: 238/243 • egrep ^'[0-9]+.[A-Z][a-z]+( [a-z]+)+\\' epw.cd | wc –l • egrep ^'[0-9]+\\[A-Z][a-z]*( [a-z]+)+\\' epw.cd | wc -l 100184\X chromosome\0\52203\1\P\'Eks-"kr5-m@-s5m\[VCC][CCVV][CV][CVVC]\[Eks][kr@U][m@][s@Um] 100185\X chromosomes\0\52203\1\P\'Eks-"kr5-m@-s5mz\[VCC][CCVV][CV][CVVCC]\[Eks][kr@U][m@][s@Umz] 100287\Y chromosome\0\52250\1\P\'w2-"kr5-m@-s5m\[CVV][CCVV][CV][CVVC]\[waI][kr@U][m@][s@Um] 100288\Y chromosomes\0\52250\1\P\'w2-"kr5-m@-s5mz\[CVV][CCVV][CV][CVVCC]\[waI][kr@U][m@][s@Umz] BASED on Kevin Cohen’s LING 5200
