Syllabic Verse Analysis (SylVA)

The tool syllabifies and scans texts written in syllabic verse for metrical corpus annotation. It is designed for Old French and Old Occitan and exports the results in PAULA format suitable for the ANNIS platform (http://corpus-tools.org/annis/). Used first in the preparation of the metrical treebank containing the Old Occitan <i>Boeci</i> text (cf. Rainsford and Scrivner 2014), development continued for use with the Old Gallo-Romance Corpus <http://www.ogr-corpus.org>).
