Say you would to view all n-grams o certain words and navigate their various properties just by clicking on a GUI. A proof of concept/paradigm/workable model would be Microsoft QBE interface for their Access (personal) DBMS as part of MS Office suite. I was amazed at the ease at which users put it to work without having a clue of what SQL stands for ~

MS Access QBE was just a gui to actually create a SQL statement in the background which in turn queried the DB, but, is there even a query language for corpora or some standard, work in progress or anything? ~
Is there such a thing for corpora? ~
Thank you
