“Cesax” is a windows computer program that handles
several different types of syntactically parsed files.
It allows semi-automatic
coreference resolution for its own native psdx format. Cesax can handle
files of the following types:
1. Psd - Text files that are part of the parsed series of English corpora (YCOE, PPCME2 etc)
2. Psdx - XML equivalents of psd files
3. Tig - Negra (Tiger) format (stand-off xml).
4. Xml - Alpino-produced xml format
