Collocation Explorer detects collocations automatically using our licensed version of the British National Corpus. The statistical measures we use for Collocation Explorer run on a 20-million portion of the BNC. We have designed a novel corpus indexing in order to increase the speed and accuracy of our collocation searches.

When you want to learn how to use a vocabulary word, you need to know what other words are commonly used with it. For example, in English we say 'take medicine' and not 'eat medicine'. Also, we say 'spend time' not 'pay time'. You can explore this kind of knowledge yourself here by entering the word you want to investigate and its part of speech. Choose whether you want to see words that appear to the left or to the right of that word and their part of speech. Enjoy!

It is useful for middle school and college students. Thank you for this piece of information and your great contribution to the domain of CL at large.

The system used to be a lexical difficulty filter. But I can't find the LDF now., which could order the search-word centered concordances according to the lexical difficulty of all context words. This would be especially useful for preparing teaching materials. But it is sadly gone.
