It lets the user build the tree in a point-and-click fashion. The program does no analysis on its own — the user is completely free to draw the tree however he or she wishes. However, the program makes sure that the tree is a tree and not some other kind of graph.
Syntactic theories supported: “Generic” syntax trees, X-Bar syntax trees, RRG (Role and Reference Grammar) syntax trees (the LSC and the LSNP). The program supports adding “labels” to nodes. These labels are userdefinable, and can be used for such things as: Rhetorical Structure Theory analyses, Other discourse-level analyses, RRG operator-projection analyses, Subject-Object-Predicate analyses.
