VISL Overview

The purpose of this "Overview" is to provide a brief introduction to the various options you have when exploring and using the VISL Site. The World of VISL is basically organized into two areas. As you can see at the left-hand side of your screen, the first area is ordered under the title "VISL Tools". These grammar "tools" have been designed by the staff and student-assistants associated with the VISL project. Currently, the following "tools" are available for you:

• Grammatical Analyses (pre-analyzed sentences and automatic machine parsing)
• Games & Quizzes (testing of word classes and other grammatical topics)
• Corpus Search (access to the BNC and other language corpora)
• Machine Translation

Within each specific "tools" page, you will find additional information concerning the functionality of the VISL Site. The second area is organized around the languages which are found on the VISL Site. Through the individual language links, you can access the VISL tools specifically developed and designed for that language.

VISL Languages

If you access one of the VISL languages through the entry page, you will be asked the question "Which VISL tool do you want to use?". Within each language you will find various options available to you. In the table below, we have provided an overview of what is currently available for each language.
