Semantic Analysis

The Semantic Analysis tool window shows part of the results produced by the disambiguator when analyzing a test document. It is the output of deep linguistic analysis, which includes:

  • Text subdivision
  • Part-of-speech tagging
  • Morphological analysis
  • Lemmatization
  • Syntactic analysis
  • Semantic analysis

tw

A context menu command is available on the file name:

Name Description
Copy File name Copy the file name
Copy File full path Copy the file full path

Areas

The window contains these panels:

  • Analysis view
  • Details panel

Analysis view

This panel shows the deep linguistic analysis for a selected portion of text—whether sentence or paragraph—based on the Scope option chosen on the toolbar.

It is a layered representation. The lower layer is the text, the layers above correspond to subdivisions of the text of decreasing granularity or to syntactic elements and phrases. Layer items are represented by colored tiles.

Layers are, from top to bottom:

Color Description Tile contents
Sentences SENTENCE label
Clauses Clause type
Phrases Phrase type abbreviation
Syntactic elements (hidden by default) Element type
Tags Tag name
Words Part-of-speech
Atoms Part-of-speech
Text elements Text

All tiles are actionable through mouse clicks.
Single click has two effects:

  • The text corresponding to the selected tile is highlighted in the editor.
  • Selected tile details are shown in the details panel.

In the case of syntax element (yellow tiles), the contents of the tiles relating to the same structure are framed with a dashed line.

Double-click is effective only on word and atom tiles having an associated syncon. In this case, double-clicking a tile opens the Knowledge Graph tool window and the syncon associated with the tile is displayed together with the other syncons that are linked to it.

The context menu is available on every tile. The main commands are:

Name Description
Copy Label Copy the tile label to the clipboard
Copy ID (Only for tiles associated to a syncon) Copy the syncon ID to the clipboard

The context menu shows the tile label and, in case of tiles associated with a syncon, the syncon ID between parentheses.

Toolbar

The toolbar provides toggle switches and options to customize the view.

Icon Name Description
Clear Selection Deselect all selected tiles

Note

See the languages reference for more information about TagEntry.

The context menu is available for tiles in the tags, words, atoms, text elements layers. Commands vary based on the type of element.
