Ant和Smith都能做呢
AntConc就可以进行“cluster”分析的,查询WordSmith Tools的在线帮助的话,用cluster这个词也能搜索到相关的描述。

Clusters are words which are found repeatedly together in each others' company, in sequence. They represent a tighter relationship than collocates, more like multi-word units or groups or phrases. (I call them
clusters because groups and phrases already have uses in grammar and because simply being found together in software doesn't guarantee they are true multi-word
units.)
Biber calls them "lexical bundles".
Language is phrasal and textual. It is not helpful to see it as a matter of selecting a word to fill a grammatical "slot" as implied by structural theories. Words keep company: the extreme example is idiom where they're bound tightly to each other, but all words have a tendency to cluster together with some others. These clustering relations may involve colligation (e.g. the relationship between depend and on),
collocation, and semantic prosody (the tendency for cause to come with negative effects such as accident, trouble, etc.).
WordSmith Tools gives you two opportunities for identifying word clusters, in
WordList and
Concord. They use different methods. Concord only processes concordance lines, while WordList processes whole texts.
