Abstract
This paper considers a number of issues surrounding current annotation science and corpus analysis and presents a bespoke suite of software, the Corpus Analysis Toolkit, for processing and analysing multilevel annotations of time-aligned linguistic data. The toolkit provides a variety of specialised tools for performing temporal analysis of annotated linguistic data. The toolkit is feature-set and corpus independent and offers support for a number of commonly used annotations formats.
