The LCB develops a good deal of its own computational linguistics
software in-house. Harry Halpin was the research assistant who
programmed most of these programs (Currently at University of Edinburgh),
and questions should be directed
towards him at hhalpin@ibiblio.org
Also note that the manuals are in .PDF format and require Adobe
Acrobat Reader 4.0 or greater to view.

Easy-to-Use Graphical Tool for Classifying Sentences from Large Text
Corpora
CorpusCoder is a software tool used by linguists and psychologists to
efficiently search and categorize sentences in large-scale text corpora.
It features simple and easy to use customization of most of its features,
including the addition of new corpora, the creation of new codings, and
user profiles. It features an easy-to-use graphical user interface. It
also has special features that allow users to check reliability of coding
and multiple codings of the same sentence.

Speech Synthesis Tool that takes into account Discourse Markers
This experimental speech synthesis system allows users to easily
manipulate through a graphical user interface various acoustical
properties of speech that are dependent on discourse cues. Once a text is
specially marked up for various discourse levels, features such as
speech frequency, speech speed, pause length, and more can be manipulated.
It also has a batch mode for generation of large, criteria-based samples
of speech synthesis.
Although its a Java Application, it currently runs only on Windows
due to limitations of the speech synthesis engine.
DSSS has its own homepage. Lots more information about DSSS is
contained on this homepage. NOTE ALSO THAT SINCE DSSS IS A JAVA
APPLICATION, IT REQUIRES THE JDK (Java Development Kit) TO RUN.
VERSIONS INCLUDING AND NOT INCLUDING THE JDK ARE HERE FOR DOWNLOAD.

Easy Access to a Wealth of Psycholinguistic Information
MultiMRC is a simple graphical user interface built on top of the
MRC Psycholinguistic Database that allows researchers to easily retrieve
statistical information on words in the English language such as word
frequency, concreteness, part of speech, and so on.
