In Korp you may perform quite advanced corpus serches.
Searching with dependency relations
Task: You want to search for all sentences with nouns in Illative that have the verb liikot as their dependency mother.
Procedure: Write the string below into the CQP search interface in Korp.
The search string is as follows (here, it is put on 3 lines):
a:[msd="N.*.Ill"]
[]{0,10}
b:[lemma="liikot" & msd="V.*"]::a.dephead=b.ref
Explanation:
This group of commands
[lemma="liikot" & msd="V.*"]
identifies the verb, by giving lemma and part of speech.
[]{0,10}
this gives zero or more whatever inbetween the two expressions
then the noun, its grammatical specification (singular or plural) and its dependency relation.
[msd="N.*.Ill" & deprel="OBJ"]
Then you have to bind these groups to some variable names, the syntax is name:expression, as follows:
b:BUNDLE
a:BUNDLE
then you state the joint condition
::a.dephead=b.ref
which declares that the dependeny head of a shall be the ref value of b. In our context, the dependency head of the illative noun shall be the value of the verb liikot.
