Dear all--
Sorry for the delay in this reply, but hope this is of help:
See of course:
Scott, M 1998, WordSmith Tools Manual, version 3.0, Mike Scott and
Oxford University Press. Available from
http://www/liv.ac.uk/~ms2928/wordsmit.htm.
Also a helpful example:
Scott, M 1997, PC analysis of key words and key key words', System,
vol 25, no 2, 233-245.
And available on the WWW:
Tribble, C 1998?, Genres, keywords, teaching: towards a pedagogic
account of the language of project proposals'. Available at
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Christopher_Tribble/Genre.htm
Also quite interesting if you can track it down, but not really on key
words per se:
Hoey, M 1997, From concordance to text structure: New uses for computer
corpora', in Melia J, and Lewandowska B (eds), Proceedings of PALC 97,
Lodz University Press.
