Check out the website for the "Words in a Haystack" course that Katrin Erk taught in Fall 2007 on methods and tools for working with corpora (and using a lot of Python to do it): <br><br><a href="http://comp.ling.utexas.edu/courses/2007/corpora07/schedule.html">http://comp.ling.utexas.edu/courses/2007/corpora07/schedule.html</a><br>

<br>We also have a tips and tricks wiki for UT Austin's compling lab that includes some notes on Unix commands: <br><br><a href="http://comp.ling.utexas.edu/wiki/doku.php/tips_and_tricks#handy_unix_commands" target="_blank">http://comp.ling.utexas.edu/wiki/doku.php/tips_and_tricks#handy_unix_commands</a><br>
<br>Also, on a related note, we put Peyton Todd's corpus linguistics compilation (posted to corpora list some time ago) on our wiki and added to it:<br><br><a href="http://comp.ling.utexas.edu/wiki/doku.php/corpus_linguistics" target="_blank">http://comp.ling.utexas.edu/wiki/doku.php/corpus_linguistics</a><br>

word lists one from general english (specifically from Pakistani Origin) and<br>law english (also of Pakistani origin). I know want to present these<br>keywords with their frequencies in both corpora as a proof that these words<br>
are more frequent in law. Keywords are generated by Antconc.<br>Is there any script/tool that can generate a parallel list of frequencies of<br>each word in both corpora?<br>Regards<br>M Shakir Aziz<br>A Corpus Linguistics Student<br>
