4.2. Filters

With LEXUS you may also create filters within lexica. For instance, you may create a filter which filters out all the lexical entries which have 'noun' as a value for the 'part of speech' data category. Applying this filter on the word list of a lexicon, will result in a word list of nouns only. Likewise, you can create thematic filters (by selecting only those entries from your word list which e.g. represent animals).

4.2.1. Creating filters

Since filters are specific for a certain lexicon, you define the filter in the Lexicon Editor module, under the Filters tab. The process of creating a filter is similar to the process of creating a query, with the sole exception that you do not select a lexicon (since it is already predefined). Please, check the Queries section.
