Making a Concordance

   This is the first topic This is the last topic JavaScript is required for the print function  

When you press the Concord button in the main Controller, a new Concord Tool opens up and will be visible in the Windows Taskbar.

       

start_concord        

 

Now in Concord itself, choose File | New.        

 

       file_new_menu        

If no text files have been chosen, you are asked to choose some. Press the Choose Texts Now button.        

 

c_wizard_main_tab        

 

Once the texts have been chosen, enter a suitable Search Word:

 

search_word_entering        

 

Here I have chosen wherefore as my search-word. Then press OK.        

       

concordance_wherefore        

 

The concordance lists all the examples of "wherefore" which had a word-separator such as punctuation, space etc. before and after it.        

Since we have now done our concordance, WordSmith now knows how many words there are in each text file: rom06.txt has 1,506 altogether; rom8.txt is bigger (2,236 words).
