nat-makeCWB [-encode=<CWBName> -d=<CWBCrpDir> [-r=<CWBRegistry>]] <NatCrpDir>

DESCRIPTION

This small scripts exports a NATools corpus directory to a pair of files that can be easily imported in Corpus WorkBench (CWB).

By default nat-makeCWB processes a NATools corpora dir an creates a pair of files, source.cqp and target.cqp that can be later imported into CWB using cwb-align-import.

Flags:

-encode

If this option is used then nat-makeCWB will try to use cwb tools to create the aligned corpus. This option should be follows by the corpora name. The corpora creates will nem named name_source and name_target respectively.

This option should be used in conjunction with option -d.

The CWB registry directory will be guessed using cwb-config or CORPUS_REGISTRY environment variable. To use other path, please specify it with -r.

-d

This option is required when using -encode. It specifies CWB corpus directory (without the corpus name).

-r

Use this option to force a registry path other than the system default.

-debug

Use this option if you need to debug the temporary files. If this option is supplied they will not be deleted.
