Linguistic Tree Constructor is a free program for building linguistic syntax trees from text. Linguistic Tree Constructor lets the user build the tree in a point-and-click fashion.
The program does no analysis on its own -- the user is completely free to draw the tree however he or she wishes. However, the program makes sure that the tree is a tree and not some other kind of graph.
Syntactic theories supported
Three "flavors" of trees are supported:
"Generic" syntax trees,
X-Bar syntax trees
RRG (Role and Reference Grammar) syntax trees (the LSC and the LSNP)
Labeling of nodes
The program supports adding "labels" to nodes. These labels are userdefinable, and can be used for such things as:
Rhetorical Structure Theory analyses
Other discourse-level analyses
RRG operator-projection analyses
Subject-Object-Predicate analyses
Here are some key features of "Linguistic Tree Constructor":
