The point of it...
The idea is to be able to see a selected collocate highlighted in the concordance. In this example, the texts were Shakespeare plays and search word was love. One of the collocates is know, occurring a total of 50 times, with the most frequent at position 4 words to the left of love.
Double-clicking 14 in the L4 column to the right of know, we see this in the concordance:
We have brought to the top of the concordance those lines which contain know in position L4.
How to do it
In a collocates window or a patterns window, simply double-click the item you wish to highlight. Or select it and choose View | Highlight selected collocate.
In the collocates window, if you click
|
what you get |
the Word column or the Total column |
all instances of the word |
Total Left |
those to the left (33 in the case of know above) |
Total Right |
those to the right (17) |
otherwise |
those in that column only |
To get rid
Re-sort in a different way or choose the menu item View | Refresh.
