Corpora: Re: HTML Concordancing

[Andrew Kehoe]

Maritza,

It seems that most of the technology you require is already implicit in our
prototype WebCorp web concordancing software. We have modified the existing tool
to produce word (frequency) lists for web pages. A demonstrator can be found
at http://webcorp.connect.org.uk/wordlist.html, which will construct word lists
for an individual target page.
