The search interface has two modes, simple and advanced. The grey buttons above the search interface switch it between simple and advanced mode.
The simple search
The simple search can look for either concrete word forms ocurring in the text, or for all occurrences of a lemma. It can search for a whole word (“entire word”), its beginning (“word begins with…”), or its end (“word ends with…”).
“Word form” will search the transliterated text. This text layer has been transliterated into the modern Lithuanian alphabet, but the spelling left otherwise unchanged. Thus the word forms can deviate from the modern standardized spelling – Swieta is transliterated as svieta, Iáucʒei as iaučei. A search for the modern form jaučiai would therefore return no hits here (the advanced search, by contrast, can search the normalized text layer for standardized modern Lithuanian forms).
“Lemma” searches the text on the lemma level, using a word’s “dictionary” citation form. A lemma search for jautis will thus find all occurrences of this word regardless of case, number, or how it is spelled in the text.
Below the search mask is a list of the texts in the corpus (Metai, Metų fragmentai, Pasakos). Here, the search can be restricted to specific texts. By default all texts are selected.
The advanced search
The functions of the advanced search are explained in the illustrated instructions. Those instructions and the troubleshooting page explain important concepts and particularities of the data structure that should be kept in mind in order to make effective and reliable use of the search.
