    Dear Yvonne Breyer,

    For standalone concordance you can use the CLaRK system.
    It is an XML-based system for corpora development and allows
    search in XML annotated corpora, but also in textual files with
    simple XML mark-up. The queries for the search can be
    formulated as regular expressions.

    The system is based on Unicode, but it can read from several
    encodings of Cyrillic letters, including KOI8.

    You could download the system from our website:

    With best regards,

    Kiril

    Subject: [Corpora-List] Concordancing russian text

    Dear members of the Corpora-Mailing List,

    I have been trying to put together a small corpus in Russian (Cyrillic
    coding) for classroom concordancing, i.e. for the use with concordancers
    such as MonoConc and the like. I am aware of the online availability of the
    Uppsala corpus at <http://www.sfb441.uni-tuebingen.de/b1/korpora.html>
    http://www.sfb441.uni-tuebingen.de/b1/korpora.html yet for presentation
    purposes at a workshop I was hoping to present offline concordancing with a
    standalone program. Currently, my problem lies not so much on the
    linguistic/theoretical side of things but rather the technical realisation
    of working with Cyrillic text. So far I have not succeeded in putting
    together a *.txt-file in Russian that MonoConcPro would read. I thought that
    it was actually capable of it though. Could somebody point me into the right
    direction? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Best regards,

    Yvonne Breyer
