Corpus Linguistics, A Glint in the Eye

Been thinking for some time now about an open source project that would allow holders of linguistic corpora to relatively easily put up a web app that allows the world to search them. You know, using Lucene, Spring MVC, TEI.2, stuff like that.

Have recently started in on the work in my “spare time.” Using as sample data some files from the British Academic Written English (BAWE) Corpus. We’ll see how it goes.
