Throughout this discussion, I have talked about how this tool can be utilized in rhetorical analysis assingments to aid in the collection and organization of found data. Many linquisitic assingmants can benefit from this tool. Implemented by first researching texts then analysing the texts through AntConc to help formulate evidence for a larger research paper.
Even activities as simple as creating a word list or a plot chart of word frequency.
