Greedy Extraction of Trees for Empirical Linguistics

GrETEL is a query engine in which linguists can use a natural language example as a starting point for searching a treebank with limited knowledge about tree representations and formal query languages. By allowing linguists to search for constructions which are similar to the example they provide, we hope to bridge the gap between traditional and computational linguistics.
