Just the Word

Just the Word, developed by Pete Whitelock of Sharp (UK). This gives you a detailed description of the company a word keeps in modern-day English. It combines the advantages of thesaurus and dictionary. Read the easy-to-use Getting Started, and get started.

Enter a word and it returns significant data on collocations and colligation which we need when learning vocabulary thoroughly.This data is especially valuable in that it is preprocessed: we normally go through many separate steps to arrive at the tables that it genereates. Furthermore, upon clicking on the word combination in the list, concordances appear in the so-called KWIC format (key word in context), which allows you to observe further features, such as the domains and genres in which this is used.
