Parse and Search through a conllu file

Searching is as follows:

The '<' character

If you want to find a specific word(i.e. you want to find the word 'bread' in your ConLL-U file):

You would start your search with a '<'

Then write the word after the '<' (i.e '<ести)

This will print your answer in this format:

'Token: 6, Form: ести, Lemma: есті, UPOSTAG: VERB, HEAD: 0, DEPREL: root, # sent_id = story.tagged.txt:44:776, Sentence: Ол енді ол дыбысты анығырақ ести бастады .'

This gives you the Token(where in the sentence did this appear), lemma, upostag(part of speech), HEAD, and the sentence_id

The '{' character

If you would like to search with a tree(i.e you want to search for a word with a HEAD value or word):

You would start your search with a '{'

Then, between the words you are searching for a relation between add a '>'

For instance, if you wanted to see when 'have' did action to 'clue' (i.e. I have no clue') you would use this character

An example entry would be '{have>clue'

If you wanted, you could also be more specific or ambigious

When searching with attributes (i.e UPOSTAG), you could do this like:

'{upostag=verb, form=have>form=clue'

PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN YOU SPECIFY EXTRA ATTRIBUTES YOU HAVE TO PUT 'Form=' ARGUMENT FOR THE WORD

If you wanted to specify nothing and look for words that do action to bread, you would use:

'{none=none>form=clue}'

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE 'NONE=NONE' WHERE NOTHING IS SPECIFIED

You can also specify attributes instead of 'form=clue' such as 'upostag=noun'

Example Output:

Token: 2, Form: have, Lemma: have, UPOSTAG: VERB, HEAD: 0, DEPREL: root, # sent_id = 2, Sentence: I have no clue .

The ':' character

If you would like to search for a deprel or upostag and a feature in a word:

You would start your search with a ':' and encapsulate your search with '[]'

For instance if you wanted to search for a copula and past feature you would do

':[cop, past]'

This would find a copula with a past feature and have an output like:

'Token: 3, Form: болғаныма, Lemma: бол, UPOSTAG: AUX, HEAD: 2, DEPREL: cop, # sent_id = akorda-random.tagged.txt:158:2829, Sentence: Мен осында болғаныма қуаныштымын қуанышты мын .'

The ';' character

If you would like to search with a relationship(i.e nsubj relation to another node that has a noun POS) You would start your search with a ';' You would then type a deprel tag followed by a colon and then a part of speech The second term(the one after the ';') can also be the lemma or the word id_name You would use to search for a word with nsubj relationship with a noun: ';nsubj:noun' Could Output: 'Token: 8, Form: жүзімдік, Lemma: жүзімдік, UPOSTAG: NOUN, HEAD: 6, DEPREL: conj, # sent_id = Шымкент.tagged.txt:8:216, Sentence: Тау етегінде өзен бойындағы алқаптарда егіншілік пен жүзімдік ал көгалды таулы жайылымдарда - мал шаруашылығы дамыған .'
