Linguists running the Singelloop 2024

— Posted in Hardlopen by

On Friday 12 April 2024, 15 linguists from LUCL – the LUCL Runners – ran the Leiden Singelloop. All running linguists completed the +/- 6km course on the ‘singels of Leiden’. Afterwards, we enjoyed each other's company during the annual post-run party at Olga van Marion and Ton van der Wouden’s house along the route.

Thanks to LUCL for sponsoring and all colleagues who supported us during the run!

Bug fixes and new feature n-gram generator

— Posted in Taal by

Unfortunately, due to work on large-file loading, some bugs slipped in, causing the n-gram generator to present incorrect results. Luckily, one of the users attended me to this problem, and the last few days I have fixed a number of related bugs. Atop that, I have implemented a number of checks to prevent really incorrect results in the future.

Finally, I have added n option to remove possessive 's, so now you can choose whether you’d like ‘Harry’s’ to be counted as ‘Harrys’ or ‘Harry’. Some general statistics (word totals, TTR) were added to.
