Search for

Select the kind of entity to search for, then define search criteria in the sections below.

Languages Predicate Types Clause Types C Types Sentences

Instructions: You can combine criteria from as many sections as you wish, regardless of the search type you chose above. For example, you can choose to search for predicate types, and specify that example sentences must contain the word wash; you will then see a list of predicate types linked to such examples.

To select multiple elements in a list of search options, hold down the control key as you click.

Simple free-text searches require every search term to be present, as a whole or partial word. For more complex queries you can use AND, OR and negation (a minus sign), enclose "a string in quotes" to match it exactly, or search for the keyword NULL, which means the field must be empty.
