The Lexos Workflow
The Lexos Workflow is as follows:
Import files using the Upload Tool, then use the Select Tool to, as the name suggests, select the files you wish to use. Then Scrub the selected files to remove everything but the words. From there, Cut can be used to search for variations within a text by dividing it into different segments. Then the tools in the Analyze Tab can be used on any documents selected from the Select Tool.
The Lexos suite is divided into several sections, Manage, Prepare, Visualize, and Analyze. Each section contains tools used in Lexomic methods of linguistic research, beginning with those listed under Manage.
By default, the Lexos website begins in the Upload tool from the Manage tab. Here, you can choose the text you wish to analyze by simply dropping it inside the dotted lines, or by navigating to the file location through use of the browse button. Multiple files may be uploaded simultaneously, although upload times may increase.
Once files have been uploaded, head to the Select tool from the Manage drop-down menu. Here, you may choose which of your uploaded texts you wish to analyze.
After selecting your texts, move to the Scrub tool under the Prepare tab. This tool allows you to scrub your text, removing capital letters, punctuation, and numbers, boiling a text down to its essential elements: words. The Scrub tool also allows you to Lemmatize your text, as well as input Stopwords, Consolidations, and Special Characters.
Cutting, also located under the Prepare tab, follows Scrubbing. Cut divides your text into different segments, allowing you to analyze variations between different sections.
The Tokenize/Count tool, under the Prepare tab and directly after Cut, provides broad information about your text in the form or frequency counts for words and characters.
Once you have Cut and Scrubbed your text, it is time to move on to analysis.
