[Corpora-List] Simple but powerful concordancer for EAP students

[ustcxujj]

Hi Nigel,

I think what you are looking for is a collocation extraction tool.

You may find our Collocator helpful.

http://www.sinotefl.ac.cn/uploads/soft/100426/BFSU_Collocator_1.0.rar

This tool works well with raw texts or PoS-tagged texts (Word_TAG format).

Step 1: Upload your local texts in [Settings]. Choose Raw if your texts are not tagged.
Step 2: Set the span (4L-4R; 5L-5R);
Step 3: Run.

Bug reports are welcome. BFSU Collocator 2.0 is under development. There is a major upgrade in this new version.

ConcGramming is computationally expensive, and we implemented in another standalone tool--BFSU ConcGram, not publicly available at the moment.

Best,

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