Using the online compendium

Contents in the site are organised thematically, employing a structure somewhat different from the one adopted in the book that will - through updates and new contents - make this website a standalone resource for the broad view of corpus approaches the volume proposes.
All scripts, commands, and examples are labelled according to the format employed in the book - with the syntax [sX.YZ], [cX.YZ], and [eX.YZ] respectively. X indicates the number of the book chapter where the content appears, while YZ is a progressive number; contents only included in this online compendium are marked with X equal to 0 - e.g. [c0.01]

Readers reaching the site from the volume Corpus Approaches to Language in Social Media should consult the section From the book that contains the following subsections:

• Reference list for online contents - where the contents included in the book are presented and accessible with direct references to the relevant ID/page(s) of the book;

• Content updates - where updates to topics discussed in the book are posted;

• Preservation copies of online materials - where preservation copies of links referenced in the book as saved to the Wayback Machine services are provided:

• Errata - where corrections to errors in the book are included;

Whenever a script, command, or consideration is relative to one or more sections of the book it is labelled using the conventions adopted in the book (e.g. [s5.01]), and the page(s) it refers to is included (often in a sidenote ^{1 1}such as this one) using the label CATLISM followed by the page number(s), such as:

CATLISM, 39-41

A set of figures originally available in the book are included in this compendium in high resolution and in colour format.

asciinema interactive videos

A number of commands included in the book are documented through asciinema, an open source project that allows users to record and share terminal sessions through an interactive replay of the CLI, where displayed contents can be selected and copied directly from the video. Two details should be noted:

• when typing a password no character is shown (not either asterisks), as per CLI default behaviour - see e.g. [c5.02-03]

• typing the first few letters of a command or path and pressing the Tab ↹ key will autofill the command/path name; this is used across all asciinema videos

“The choice of employing asciinema should let readers who have no experience with working through the CLI become acquainted with the type of interactions documented [in the book and in this compendium] by seeing the behaviour that each command produces” ^{2 2}CATLISM, 100, in line with the aims outlined in On scripts and tools.
