[下载]BNC Word List for use with WordSmith

[xiaoz]

To extract keywords from your corpora, you will need a reference wordlist. The 100 million word BNC World Edition is an ideal reference corpus. You can download a word list based on the BNC World Edition here:

Users of WordSmith version 3.0: http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/coprlang/cbls/zipfiles/bnc.zip

Users of WordSmith version 4.0: http://www.lexically.net/downloads/version4/downloading BNC.htm

Hope you find it useful.

这个东东，具体不太会用，有没有大虾指点一下。

You can use it as a reference wordlist to extract keywords and key keywords from your corpora using WordSmith.

 

[Haiyang Ai]

Yeah, WordSmith Tool has a function called KEYWORDS, which requires a wordlist.

w我是不会用，我用wordsmith打开，就是一个表，不懂怎么玩

 

[xiaoz]

first use WS to create a wordlist for your corpus (e.g. for buness English, academic English, or learner English); then start the keyword function of of WS, select the wordlist you jst created from the left panel and select the BNC wordlist from the right panel. you will be able to find which words are exceptionally common (positive keywords, on the top of the list) or uncommon (negative keywords, at the bottom of the list).

see my posting "Two approaches to genre analysis" (in the section Thoeretical Fronts) for an example of keyword analysis.

Noticed something interesting, the wordlist for WST3.0 is only about 4mb, while that for WST 4.0 is around 15mb, any reason?

各位高手,请教一个也许很silly的问题,我用wordsmith5.0和用sketch engine检索BNC中的所有动词,都是empty concord,或者出现了所有以n开头的单词,不知问题出在哪,请各位高手帮忙,我在做论文想检索出NP+V+ADV的结构式.多谢了.

wordlist必须用Wordsmith打开,否则肯定是乱码.
