kwic

Type a word/phrase in the Main search box and click Search button.  CasualPConc returns kwic of the search word in the upper table.  You can use wildcard for your search.  See Wildcard section of CasualConc for more detail.


If you type a word/phrase in the Sub search box as well as the Main search box, CasualPConc returns kwic of matched pairs that include both Main and Sub search word/phrase in the two list tables.



You can select either Corpus A or Corpus B as the main corpus.

Context view

If you click a kwic result line, corresponding entry (sentence/phrase) with a matched entry appears in the Context view.  The search word/phrase will be colored in red.  If you enter a sub search text, it will also be colored.

In this example, a line on the Main kwic result table is clicked and it has a matched sentence which includes two sub search text (both are colored).

Sort

You can sort the kwic result based on your choice.  Select which word (character) to sort by and click Sort button.

Sub Text Keyword

To use this function, you need to create a word list of the corpus.  Then, CasualPConc can look for words that are likely to correspond to the Main search text.

Simply run Concord with your search word/phrase and go to Menu -> Tool -> Concord -> Sub Text Keyword.



The Keywords panel appears and list possible corresponding words based on keyness (log-likelihood).


In this example, a wilecard search econom* yields the above list.  経済 is the most likely corresponding Japanese word to economy, economic, etc. (which indeed is the case).

You can also select multiple keywords by holding the command key and search multiple keywords in the sub corpus.

Create Cluster/Collocation list

You can create a Cluster list(s) or Collocation list(s) of the search word.  Simply click Cluster or Collocation button.  If both Main and Sub search words are specified (searched), the lists are created for both.
