ELAN documents
The exported file contains the following information: participant, begin time of each annotation, end time, total length, content, and tier. It can be opened with any program that can handle tab-delimited texts, e.g., Microsoft Excel.
Figure 4.47. Tab-delimited text
Note Some versions of Excel seem to have problems importing tab-separated files (white rectangles are shown instead of the column borders). As a workaround you can open the text file first in a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and copy and paste the content into Excel.
4.3.2.5. Tiger XML If your ELAN annotations contain syntactic elements, it is possible to export these to Synpathy4 (see http:/ /tla.mpi.nl/tools/tla-tools/older-tools/synpathy/). This function is available via File > Export as > Tigerxml… First select out of the candidate tiers the one you want to be exported. Afterwards, map the tiers onto the correct description ("word" or "pos"). Finally enter the name of the file (*.tig).
4.3.2.6. CHAT files 1. Choosing File > Export as > CHAT file … will give you the following screen:
Synpathy is a tool for annotating, analyzing, and graphically editing the syntactical structure of sentences (e.g. Linguistically annotated text corpora), developed at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics. The application is based on the SyntaxViewer from the TIGER search project developed by the IMS (Institute für Maschinelle Sprachverarbeitung, University of Stuttgart).
