Both wordSmith & AntConc can be used for word concordaces. They are very similar in their functions. It seems WordSmith is used more widely in corpus studies. If i want to do research on collocations, which one should i use?

Both of the two tools can help you do research on collocations, and WST4.0 can provide more statistical measures than AntConc, for AntConc only has MI and T-value statistical measures, but WST4.0 has five measures.

AntConc is free of charge. WordSmith Tool is commercial software. Antconc is capable of doing many tasks.

Thank you, armstrong. It's shameful that i don't know AntConc has MI and T-value statistical measures. Could you tell me how to get MI and T-value in AntConc?

Thank you,Haiyang. I have AntConc and WS 3.0 at hand. Different tools generate different statistical results for the same file. Since they are similar, i just choose one i like?
