COLLECT--A PROGRAM FOR THE RETRIEVAL OF GRAMMATICAL INFORMATION FROM ANNOTATED TEXT.

DESIGNED FOR LINGUISTS AND LEXICOGRAPHERS, THE COLLECT SYSTEM CAN ANALYZE THE SYNTAX AND SEMANTICS OF RUSSIAN SENTENCES BY SEARCHING A FILE OF RUSSIAN TEXT. IN A TYPICAL SEARCH ON A GIVEN SENTENCE, GRAMMATICAL RELATIONSHIPS, INDIVIDUAL WORD SPELLINGS, AND WORD OCCURRENCES CAN BE DETERMINED. SINCE THE SYSTEM INCLUDES INTERPRETERS, THE LINGUIST CAN USE FAIRLY NATURAL TERMINOLOGY IN HIS SEARCH REQUESTS. WRITTEN FOR THE IBM 7044 COMPUTER, THE ENTIRE COLLECT SYSTEM COULD BE ADAPTED TO ADMIT NEW KINDS OF INFORMATION TO THE FILE. THIS MEMORANDUM ALSO DISPLAYS A SAMPLE COLLECT REQUEST FORM. (FB)
