我看了下这两篇文章,但文章中都是已经检索好的结果,现在已经学会如何检索词了,但我想研究WTO文献中被动句使用的频率,按照您的指示,我把文本用您给的网址上的CLAWS tag了一下,但下一步应如何在wordsmith里检索就不知道了,应该将*_VB* *_V*N输入到哪个对话框里检索,请求赐教详细步骤!我是初学者,所以知道的东西很少很少,还请老师多多费心!谢谢!If you tag your texts using CLAWS (http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/claws/trial.html), it will be easy to extract passives from your data using Wordsmith. Simply search for the pattern *_VB* *_V*N.
