Concordancer

Our final post on Lextutor is about Concordancer. With the concordancer, you enter words to find out how they are used in the corpuses the site makes use of.

Let's say, I want to know how to use the word 'research'; I enter the word into the keyword box, and select the corpus I want to use (it's a drop down box) and submit. You get something like the following back, and studying it you start to see how 'research' is used and the types of words that are commonly used with 'research'.
