<BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"></FONT>
<DIV>I am curious whether anyone is aware of corpus work that attempts to
analyze the frequency or concordance tendencies of keywords (in Raymond
Williams' sense of that word) in literary texts. The purpose of such work
might vary but could include the analysis of emergent
historical meanings or the differences between the keyword choices
of different political or philosophical tendencies.</DIV>
