Eleven ways into the material.
Each activity has a demonstration, complete texts and prompts, saved results and detailed explanations. App links take you to the existing tools when you want to try an analysis.
01 / RhymeFew-shot examples, stress, mosaic rhyme and phonological verification.
02 / Emotions & NeSyAchilles, a Cairns-inspired prompt and four forms of symbolic intervention.
03 / ZeugmaThucydides, two complete graphs and six recorded Prolog queries.
04 / NatureA landscape, a metaphor and Papadiamantis: deciding what counts.
05 / Voyant-NLPConcordances, spelling choices and a sentiment result to question.
06 / SvarnaThe separate corpus workbench: contexts, varieties and proposed LLM inputs.
07 / PlotAnalyzerCompare narrative theories with what a keyword method actually finds.
08 / TermGuardCorpus evidence and the difference between a well-formed and a useful definition.
09 / Linguistic DistanceChoose dimensions, inspect a changing mean and keep missing data visible.
10 / Dialect GeneratorFour recorded generations, exact prompts and questions about dialectal evidence.
11 / NATSA network edge can connect a denied encounter. Inspect every supporting context.

Sources and support.
Original texts, translations, examples and font licences retain their credits in the material. The worked examples distinguish recorded results, instructor interpretations and unresolved checks.
Funding from Microsoft's LINGUA project supported CoDAG (Computational Dialectal Atlas of Greek), making Svarna, GPT-4.1 fine-tuning and the Greek NLP Swiss Knife possible.
