	'''TODO'''		As was mentioned before, every single token (word or punctuation) in the corpus is tagged with part-of-speech information. The tags are stored as text values under the attribute <code>tag</code> of the tokens and they all follow the same general pattern. This section gives an overview of the format used in tags of the Irish corpus but it’s not extensive. For the extensive list of all information contained in the tagset, see [[#External documentation\|the links below]].

			<div class="warningbox">'''Beware!''' There are instances of tokens being tagged incorrently. So don’t rely on the tags too much and when you’re failing to find a specific form that interests you, try searching for it using the <code>word</code> or <code>lc</code> attributes. Also note that some wrongly tagged words will have their <code>lemma</code> wrong too. You can see what tag and lemma was assigned to specific tokens in your result list in the '''new''' interface (you can enable displaying of lemmata and pos-tags under the eye icon above the result set).

			For example:
			* the word '''Gaedhealaibh''' ‘Gaels’ has the tag <code>Npmcs</code> and lemma <code>Gaedhealaibh</code>, so it’s “a proper masculine noun ''Gaedhealaibh'' in its nominative singular form” even though in reality it is an old spelling of the dative plural form of the word ''Gael'',
			* the lenited form '''Ghaedhealaibh''' is tagges similarly, except that the lemma is given as <code>Ghaedhealaibh</code>,
			* the word '''Polanach''' ‘a Pole’ in its noun sense is tagged as <code>Ncmcs</code> (ie. a common nouns) with lemma <code>polannach</code> even though it is a proper noun and should be lemmatized as <code>Polannach</code>,
			* the words '''snámh''', '''léamh''', etc. in the construction ''tá snámh agam'' ‘I can swim’ are tagged as <code>Ncmsc</code> (common nouns) even though they are '''verbal''' nouns in this construction,
			* the words '''déanta''', '''tagtha''', etc. in the construction ''tá déanta agam'' ‘I have done…’ are tagged as <code>Nv--g</code> (verbal nouns in genitive) when in reality they are '''passive participles''' and thus should match <code>Av.*</code> (ie. verbal adjectives),
			* the word '''ráite''' in the same construction is marked <code>Ncmcp</code> – ie. as a ''common'' noun in ''plural'' (sic!)
			* on the other hand, forms like '''déanta''', '''pósta''', '''bpósta''' in phrases like ''chun a dhéanta'' ‘in order to do it’ are tagged with <code>Aqc</code> (a comparative adjective) or <code>Ncmsg</code> (a common noun in gen.) when in fact they’re verbal nouns in the genitive!</div>

			The first letter of the tag is uppercase and denotes the part of speech, the meaning of the following characters depends on the first one, but generally the next one is a subtype of the part of speech (eg. <code>N</code> means a noun, <code>Nv</code> means a ''verbal'' noun, etc.). Since you need to use [[#CQL\|CQL]] and regex to use POS-tags in your searches, the following lists will provide '''regexes''' matching the forms in question. The list of basic parts of speech is as follows:
			* <code>N.*</code> – '''nouns''',
			* <code>V.*</code> – (finite) '''verbs''' – excluding verbal nouns and participles (at least in the places where they’re correctly tagged),
			* <code>A.*</code> – '''adjectives''' (including passive participles),
			* <code>P.*</code> – '''pronouns''', including personal pronouns (but not possessives), “conjugated prepositions” aka “prepositional pronouns”, and sometimes demonstratives (like ''seo, sin'', etc.),
			* <code>D.*</code> – '''determiners''' like ''seo'', ''sin'', ''úd'', ''eile'', ''uile'', ''aon'', ''gach'', and also possessive pronouns like ''mo'', ''do'', ''a'', and interrogatives like ''cé'', ''cá'',
			* <code>T.</code> – '''articles''', really just <code>Td.</code>, forms of the definite article,
			* <code>R.*</code> – '''adverbs''' of place, means, time, etc.,
			* <code>S.</code> – '''adpositions''', basically always <code>Sp.</code> – '''prepositions''' (''le'', ''leis'' before the article, ''ar'', ''i'', etc., also compound prepositions like ''tar éis'' and similar),
			* <code>C.*</code> – '''conjunctions''',
			* <code>M.*</code> – '''numerals''',
			* <code>I.*</code> – '''interjections''',
			* <code>U.*</code> – “unique membership class” which means various types of '''particles''', elements common in surnames, etc.,
			* <code>X.*</code> – “residuals”: foreign words, abbreviations, dates, numbers, and things the tagger considered “unknown”,
			* <code>F.*</code> – '''punctuation''' marks,
			* <code>Y.*</code> – common '''abbreviations''',
			* <code>W.*</code> – '''copula''' (''is'', ''ba'', ''gur''…),
			* <code>Q.*</code> – verbal '''particles''' like ''ní'', ''an'', etc.

			As for some more important additional specific information in the tags:
			* '''nouns'''
			:* have subtypes:
			::* <code>Nc.*</code> – common nouns,
			::* <code>Nv.*</code> – verbal nouns,
			::* <code>Np.*</code> – proper nouns,
			::* <code>Ns.*</code> – other substantivized words,
			:: then they have gender and number, eg.:
			::* <code>N.ms.*</code> – singular masculine nouns,
			::* <code>N.fp.*</code> – plural feminine nouns, etc.
			:* case:
			::* <code>N...c.*</code> – the “common” case, ie. nominative or dative (note that for separate dative forms there is different value), also as direct objects of verbs,
			::* <code>N...g.*</code> – genitive,
			::* <code>N...v.*</code> – vocative,
			::* <code>N...d.*</code> – dative, when a separate dative form is used (but note that it’s very imperfectly tagged, dative plurals are not included, etc.);
			* '''verbs'''
			:* always have the subtype “main” <code>Vm.*</code>,
			:* mark mood:
			::* <code>Vmi.*</code> – indicative,
			::* <code>Vms.*</code> – subjunctive,
			::* <code>Vmp.*</code> – imperative,
			::* <code>Vmc.*</code> – conditional,
			:* tense:
			::* <code>Vm.p.*</code> – present,
			::* <code>Vm.s.*</code> – past,
			::* <code>Vm.h.*</code> – past habitual,
			::* <code>Vm.f.*</code> – future,
			::* <code>Vm.g.*</code> – present habitual,
			:* person:
			::* <code>Vm..1.*</code> – first person,
			::* <code>Vm..2.*</code> – second person, etc.
			::* <code>Vm..0.*</code> – autonomous forms,
			:* number:
			::* <code>Vm...s.*</code> – singular,
			::* <code>Vm...p.*</code> – plural,
			* '''TODO: some other parts-of-speech'''

			Sometimes a word has multiple tags – that happens when the tagger could not assign one tag unambiguously. In such instances the tags are separated with the character <code>\|</code>. Thus, to find '''all''' instances that the tagger considered ''possible'' plural verbs one has to write <code>.Vm...p.</code> (or <code>(.\|)?Vm...p.</code>) to account for the other tags before the verbal tag.

			If you require more power – you want to find utterances matching complex patterns – you can always reach for ''CQL'' by entering the ⟨Concordance⟩ (⟨Comhchordacht⟩) tab and switching the query type to ⟨CQL⟩.

	The Corpus Query Language (CQL) allows you to make complex [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression regex]-like queries, including things like looking for phrases containing specific parts of speech or inflectional forms – that’s possible because every word in the corpus is tagged with information about its part-of-speech and inflectional form. Using CQL is more complex than simple searching for words, but it enables you to be much more flexible in your searches.		The Corpus Query Language (CQL) allows you to make complex [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression regex]-like queries, including things like looking for phrases containing specific parts of speech or inflectional forms – that’s possible because every word in the corpus is tagged with information about its part-of-speech and inflectional form. Using CQL is more complex than simple searching for words, but it enables you to be much more flexible in your searches.

			Every single token (word or punctuation mark) in the Foclóir corpus has multiple attributes with text values associated with it. CQL allows you to query values of those attributes. The available attributes are:
			* <code>word</code> – the word itself, verbatim as it appears in the text,
			* <code>lc</code> (''word (lowercase)'') – the word but with all uppercase characters changed to lowercase,
			* <code>lemma</code> – the ''lemma'', ie. the base dictionary form of the word,
			* <code>lemma_lc</code> (''lemma (lowercase)'') – the lemma with all characters changed to lowercase,
			* <code>tag</code> – the part-of-speech tag with inflectional information for the word,
			* <code>lempos</code> – lemma and a single character representing the part-of-speech, separated with a dash.

			For example the sentence-initial verb ''Tá'' ‘is’ will have its <code>word</code> value equal to <code>Tá</code>, <code>lc</code>=<code>tá</code>, <code>lemma</code>=<code>bí</code>, <code>lemma_lc</code>=<code>bí</code>, <code>tag</code>=<code>Vmip</code>, <code>lempos</code>=<code>bí-v</code>. Some details of the <code>tag</code> format will be explained later. Most words will have their <code>lemma</code> and <code>lemma_lc</code> values equal, but some words that are typically written with initial capital will have those two different (eg. ''Éireannach'' ‘an Irishman’ has <code>lemma</code>=<code>Éireannach</code> and <code>lemma_lc</code>=<code>éireannach</code>).

			The general most basic element of CQL queries is a pair of square brackets matching a token: <code>[]</code> – this means ‘any word or punctuation mark’. You can add a condition in a form <code>attribute = "value-regex"</code> inside the bracket to limit what the query will match.

			For example the query <code>[lemma="bí"]</code> will match every occurrence of any form of the verb ''bí'' (the results will be the same as when typing <code>bí</code> in the simple search). The query <code>[word="bí"]</code> will find all instance of all-lowercase ''bí'' (and only ''bí'', not any other form) in the corpus – this is impossible to get using the simple query.

			When you type <code>attribute = "value"</code> the value is treated as a regex, so you can for example write <code>[word = "dra((ío)\|(oidhea))cht"]</code> to find all occurrences of both – the old (''draoidheacht'') and new (''draíocht'') – spellings of the word ''draíocht'' ‘magic, witchcraft, druidism’. You can also type <code>[word = ".*nnach[td]"]</code> to find all the words ending in ''-nnacht'' or ''-nnachd''.

			Thus, to find all instances of the ''tá {{smallcaps\|⟨verbal noun⟩}} agam'' ‘I can {{smallcaps\|⟨verb⟩}}’ construction with any form of the verb ''tá'', for any grammatical person, with the verbal nouns ''snámh'' ‘swim’ and ''léamh'' ‘read’ (including old spelling ''léigheamh''), you can write:

			:<pre>[lemma = "bí"] [lc = "snámh\|lé(ighe)?amh"] [lemma = "ag"]</pre>

			(which at the time of writing doesn’t find any instance with the old spelling, only ''snámh'' and ''léamh'').

			You can omit the brackets and attribute name for the ''default'' attribute, so for example if you choose ⟨Default attribute⟩ (⟨Aitreabúid réamhshocraithe⟩) in your search to be ⟨word (lowercase)⟩, you can shorten the above to:

			:<pre>[lemma = "bí"] "snámh\|lé(ighe)?amh" [lemma = "ag"]</pre>

			If you want to search for a specific string without treating it as a regex, you can use double equals sign <code>==</code>, for example <code>[word == "."]</code> will find all the instances of the period punctuation mark.

			You can combine multiple conditions and perform Boolean logic on them using the following operators: <code>&</code> (and), <code>\|</code> (or), <code>!</code> (not), and group them with parentheses <code>( )</code>. So, given the information that adjectives in the corpus have <code>tag</code>s beginning with the letter <code>A</code>, you can find all correctly tagged sequences of two consecutive adjectives with lenition marked in writing with:

			:<pre>[word = "[cptgbdm]h." & tag = "A."] [word = "[cptgbdm]h." & tag = "A."]</pre>
			(or using the <code>lempos</code> attribute as <code>[lempos = "[cptgbdm]h.-j"] [lempos = "[cptgbdm]h.-j"]</code>, don’t ask me why adjectives have ''-j'' there).

			You can also a question mark <code>?</code> after a token to mark it as optional, and braces with two numeric values: <code>{x, y}</code> to say that you want the given token query to match between <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> times.

			For example to find most instances of the construction ''is maith/fearr liom {{smallcaps\|⟨verbal noun phrase⟩}}'' ‘I like/prefer to {{smallcaps\|⟨infinitive phrase⟩}}’, regardless of person (''liom'', ''leat'', ''leis an bhfear''…) or whether the verbal noun has an object (''arán a ithe'' ‘to eat bread’) or not (''snámh'' ‘to swim’), you could write something like:

			:<pre>[tag = "W."] [lemma = "maith"] [lemma = "le"] ([tag = "(T\|D)."]? [tag = "N."] [tag = "A."]{0,5} [tag = "D."]?)? ([tag = "Dp."] \| ([tag = "(T\|D)."]? [tag = "N."] [tag = "A."]{0,5} [tag = "D."]? [word = "a\|do"]) \| ([word = "mé\|t(h)?ú\|é\|í\|sinn\|sibh\|iad"] [word = "a\|do"]))? [tag = "Nv.*"]</pre>

			Let’s break this monstrosity down into parts:
			* <code>[tag = "W.*"]</code> – the copula, it has tags beginning in ''W'',
			* <code>[lemma = "maith"]</code> – the adjective ''maith'' or any of its forms (lenited ''mhaith'', comparative ''f(h)earr'', etc.),
			* <code>[lemma = "le"]</code> – the preposition ''le'' or any of its forms (''leis'', ''liom'', etc.),
			* <code>( … )?</code> – optionally a group representing a noun phrase subject, containing:
			:* <code>[tag = "(T\|D).*"]?</code> – either an article (''an'', ''na''), tags beginning with ''T'' or a determiner (like possessive ''mo'', ''a'', etc.) – tags beginning in ''D'',
			:* <code>[tag = "N.*"]</code> – a noun,
			:* <code>[tag = "A.*"]{0, 5}</code> – zero up to five adjectives,
			:* <code>[tag = "D.*"]?</code> – an optional following determiner (like ''seo'' or ''sin''),
			* <code>( … )?</code> – optionally a group representing the direct object, containing:
			:* <code> … \| … \| … </code> – either:
			::* <code>[tag = "Dp.*"]</code> – a possessive pronoun (''mo'' ‘my’, ''do'' ‘your’, ''a'' ‘his/her/their’, etc.),
			::* or <code>( … )</code> – another noun phrase group:
			:::* <code>[tag = "(T\|D)."]? [tag = "N."] [tag = "A."]{0,5} [tag = "D."]?</code> – article, noun, adjectives, determiner, like before,
			:::* <code>[word = "a\|do"]</code> – the particle ''a'' (or its older form ''do'') verbatim after the direct object,
			::* or <code>([word = "mé\|t(h)?ú\|é\|í\|sinn\|sibh\|iad"] [word = "a\|do"])</code> – a pronoun object followed by ''a'' or ''do'',
			* <code>[tag = "Nv.*"]</code> – finally, the verbal noun.

			This query still doesn’t catch everything (it doesn’t allow any genitive attributes in the noun phrases, for example) – but it shows the flexibility you get with CQL.

	'''~~TODO~~'''		When you log into the corpus, you’ll see the ⟨Home⟩ (⟨Leathanach Tosaigh⟩) screen with an input form to perform a ''simple search''. As the prompt says, you can type words or phrases in there. If you type a ''lemma'' form of a word (ie. the base form that you’d find in a dictionary), it will search for any occurrence of that word in any form in the corpus. And it will treat every word in a phrase this way.

			This means that if you type <code>bí madra ag</code> (‘to be, dog, at’), you’ll see results such as:
			* ''bhí madra agamsa'' ‘I had a dog’,
			* ''tá madraí aige siúd'' ‘that one has dogs’, etc.

			You’ll also see the number of all results at the top (''Hits: 31'' or ''Amas: 31'').

			If a word you type in is ''not'' a lemma form, only sentences that match this form exactly will be found. So if you type <code>bí '''madraí''' ag</code> (‘to be, '''dogs''', at’), you’ll get results like:
			* ''Beidh madraí ag Waterloo'' ‘there will be dogs at Waterloo’,
			* ''tá madraí aige siúd'' ‘that one has dogs’,
			but no instances of singular ''madra'' (and you’ll see that the number of results fell down to 8).

			The default search is case-insensitive, you can type both <code>madraí</code> or <code>MADRAÍ</code> and you’ll get the same set of results.

			<div class="warningbox">'''Note!''' The way words in the corpus are tagged with their lemma form and part-of-speech is not perfect. You’ll have to write the exact form you’ll looking for sometimes – often you won’t find non-standard historical and dialectal forms when using the lemma form. For example the ''dative plural'' forms like ''Gaelaibh'', ''fearaibh'', ''cosaibh'' (and their lenited counterparts) are interpreted by the corpus as their own '''singular''' lemmata.</div>

			=== Wildcards (new interface only) ===

			If you use [[#Old and new interface\|the new interface]], you can perform simple searches in the ⟨Concordance⟩ tab with ⟨Simple⟩ query type chosen.
			You can use wildcard characters:
			* <code>*</code> standing for any number of characters,
			* <code>?</code> for any single character in your queries,
			* <code>\|</code> meaning ''or'', allowing you to list various words or forms,
			* [https://www.sketchengine.eu/guide/regular-expressions/#toggle-id-1 and some more].

			Thus you can for example type <code>bí * ag</code> and get all occurences of the verb ''bí'' and its forms (''tá, raibh, beidh'', etc.) followed by any word, followed by any form of the preposition ''ag'', thus you’ll get a result list containing:
			* ''tá feidhm ag na fóralach cosúlacha…'',
			* ''… nach raibh feidhm aige…'',
			* ''Ceangaltais a bheidh déanta ag an gComhphobal'', etc.

			You can also type just a part of the word, eg. <code>feoil*</code> will find occurrences of every word starting with ''feoil'' and whose lemma starts with ''feoil'', those the list will include: ''feoil'', ''feola'', ''feoilséantóir'', ''mhuicfheoil'' (it’s lemmatized as ''feoil''), ''feoilmhian'', etc. If you type <code>Ga?l</code> you’ll get results for both ''Gael'' and ''Gall'' (and also ''gaol'' and ''gail'').

			You can use the <code>\|</code> to list multiple words or phrases that are supposed to match in your query, eg. if you type <code>snámh\|léamh</code> you’ll find all instances of the verbal nouns ''snámh'' ‘swimming’ and ''léamh'' ‘reading’, if you type <code>bí snámh ag\|bí léamh ag</code> you’ll find all instances of the ''tá {{smallcaps\|⟨verbal noun⟩}} agam'' ‘I can {{smallcaps\|⟨verb⟩}}’ construction with the verbal nouns for ‘swim’ and ‘read’, regardless of tense or grammatical person.

	'''~~TODO~~'''		If you want to filter the results using criteria like ''texts written only by native speakers'' or ''only Munster Irish'', you need to enter the ''Concordance'' screen. To do that you need to click ⟨>> More⟩ (⟨>> Tuilleadh⟩) under the results list, then in the menu on the left click ⟨Filter⟩ (⟨Scagaire⟩), and that will bring you to a screen where you can select your filtering criteria and confirm them by clicking ⟨Filter Concordance⟩ (⟨Déan an Comhchordacht a Scagadh⟩). This will take you to the concordance results screen with the results filtered.
