VISL Format Consistency Checker

Select file to check consistency of:

---

This consistency checker will comment formal inconsistencies in VISL format treebanks (e.g. indentation/bracketing problems), plus a few content inconsistencies (e.g. impossible form/function combinations). The program was written in Perl by Eckhard Bick for use in the PaNoLa project, and can be downloaded here.

Easy errors will be corrected automatically and marked #¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤F#, while a #¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤!# mark is used as a warning in cases, where correction needs human intervention. At the bottom of the output file, statistics will be provided for all form and function tags used. The examples below are from Icelandic PaNoLa.
