Abstract

What do database (DB) querying and information retrieval imply for linguistics? What are data for the linguist? How can one envisage efficient access to data? I propose that DB querying in language sciences be designed linguistically and directly determined by linguistic data. Linguists from various backgrounds could then use a consensual query tool. An implemented data-directed DB querying system, which was developed for research on French interrogative structures, is presented in detail.
