ellexis — a computational environment for language
Integrated computational environment

Read language the way a corpus actually speaks.

ellexis brings a curated language corpus and a full set of processing tools into one workspace — so students and researchers can search, annotate, and analyze any text.

Two parts, one workspace

A resource and the tools to use it — built to work together.

The resource

ellexis Corpus

A structured, annotated language corpus designed for study and analysis. Search it by word, lemma, or pattern, and read results in context with full source attribution behind every line.

The toolkit

ellexis Processing tools

A set of tools for working with the corpus — and with any text corpus you bring. Tokenize, tag, count, and compare, then carry the same pipeline straight onto your own material.

What's in the toolkit

The analyses you reach for, ready in the workspace.

01

Concordance & KWIC

See any word in its real context, sorted left or right, across the whole corpus or a chosen subset.
02

Frequency & word lists

Rank words and lemmas instantly, with counts you can filter, group, and export.
03

Collocation

Surface the words that travel together, scored by statistical association.
04

Tokenize & tag

Break text into units and annotate it, then run every other tool on the result.
05

Compare corpora

Set the ellexis corpus against your own texts to find what makes each distinctive.
06

Bring your own text

Load any corpus and the same toolkit applies — no reformatting, no separate software.
Who it's for

One environment that grows from coursework to research.

For students

Learn by querying real language.

  • Run your first concordance in minutes, no setup
  • See linguistic theory in actual corpus evidence
  • Export clean results straight into essays and theses
For professors & researchers

A teaching tool and a research bench.

  • Build classroom exercises on a shared, citable corpus
  • Apply the same pipeline to your own research texts
  • Reproducible output that holds up in publication

Start with the corpus. Stay for the whole workbench.

Open ellexis in your browser and run your first query — then bring your own texts in alongside it.
