<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana></FONT>Hi Nigel,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think what you are looking for is a collocation extraction tool.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You may find our Collocator helpful.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><A
href="http://www.sinotefl.ac.cn/uploads/soft/100426/BFSU_Collocator_1.0.rar">http://www.sinotefl.ac.cn/uploads/soft/100426/BFSU_Collocator_1.0.rar</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This tool works well with raw texts or PoS-tagged texts (Word_TAG
format).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Step 1: Upload your local texts in [Settings]. Choose Raw if your texts are
not tagged.</DIV>
<DIV>Step 2: Set the span (4L-4R; 5L-5R);</DIV>
<DIV>Step 3: Run.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bug reports are welcome. BFSU Collocator 2.0 is under development. There is
a major upgrade in this new version.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>ConcGramming is computationally expensive, and we implemented in another
standalone tool--BFSU ConcGram, not publicly available at the moment.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

but powerful concordancer for EAP students </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>
<DIV>I am looking for a concordancer that will provide students with a </DIV>
<DIV>"3-click shop" to help them quickly determine the most frequent collocations of</DIV>
<DIV>a search term. </DIV>
<DIV>I am ideally looking for a program that has incorporated </DIV>
<DIV>a)the "concgram", which ranks 4-5-word strings by descending frequency, &</DIV>
<DIV>b) stem searching - e.g. using * or ? to find all morphological inflections</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I'm not seeking a complex interface, with a powerful range of options (beyond</DIV>
<DIV>sort to the left/right).</DIV>
<DIV>Ideally, the program should allow users to uplaod their own corpora, as I am</DIV>
<DIV>seeking to cater to NNS PhD students, whose needs are highly specific.</DIV>
<DIV>Any help welcome,</DIV>
<DIV>Nigel Bruce</DIV>
