SHORT DESCRIPTION
AntConc is a freeware concordance program for Windows, Macintosh OS X, and Linux.
The software includes seven tools:
Concordance Tool: shows search results in a 'KWIC' (KeyWord In Context) format.
Concordance Plot Tool: shows search results plotted as a 'barcode' format. This allows you to see the position where search results appear in target texts.
File View Tool: This tool shows the text of individual files. This allows you to investigate in more detail the results generated in other tools of AntConc.
Clusters/N-Grams: hows clusters based on the search condition. In effect it summarizes the results generated in the Concordance Tool or Concordance Plot Tool. The N-Grams Tool, on the other hand, scans the entire corpus for 'N' (e.g. 1 word, 2 words, …) length clusters. This allows you to find common expressions in a corpus.
Collocates: shows the collocates of a search term. This allows you to investigate non-sequential patterns in language.
Word List: counts all the words in the corpus and presents them in an ordered list. This allows you to quickly find which words are the most frequent in a corpus.
Keyword List: shows the which words are unusually frequent (or infrequent) in the corpus in comparison with the words in a reference corpus. This allows you to identify characteristic words in the corpus, for example, as part of a genre or ESP study.
