================================================================  

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

I am seeking recommendations for which corpus linguistics software/packages
to purchase. 

I have NO experience with MonoConc, WordSmith or any other.  I am looking
for something that isn't TOO sophisticated, but reputable, and especially
easy-to use. 

I will be teaching for the first time a Corpus Linguistics course in our
MA-TESOL program, so am attempting to get current in the area. I have a
little money with which to buy software. 

Thank you.
