Concorder Pro 1.0: A Text-analysis Tool for Mac OS X
Concorder Pro is an easy-to-use Mac OS X concordancer designed
for learners and researchers who are interested in Key Word in Context
analyses. Specifically, it is free, downloadable software which offers "a
formatted version or display of all the occurrences or tokens of a particular
type in a corpus" (Kennedy, 1998, pp. 247-251). Consequently, it allows
for quick and easy computer-generated studies of collocations, or "the
co-occurrence of words" (Stubbs, 2001, p. 29). Provided that a web
connection is available, Concorder Pro also supplies the user with instant
and free access to online dictionary resources.
