        we've processed the British National Corpus in a way that makes
it easy to see how words behave - called 'word sketches'.  The word
sketches will be a good place to go to answer your questions, for
English.  I've put "peer" and "look" on the web for you, along with
some others (I didn't have "peek" to hand), see

or others available from my web page (below) or

We have a web demo (which compiles word sketches at run time)
available on the web for all words beginning with k.  We are currently
installing a licence server, and when that is in place - should be
within a month - the full resource will be available, on a free
licence, to all for research purposes.
