Concordancer

A concordancer is a computer program that automatically constructs a concordance. The output of a concordancer may serve as input to a translation memory system for computer-assisted translation, or as an early step in machine translation.

Concordancers are also used in corpus linguistics to retrieve alphabetically or otherwise sorted lists of linguistic data from the corpus in question, which the corpus linguist then analyzes. Some concordancers used in corpus linguistics are AntConc (freeware), ApSIC Xbench, WordSmith, MonoConc, GlossaNet/Unitex (open-source free software), AdTAT(free software developed by The University of Adelaide), CorpusEye, and Linguistic Toolbox (freeware). The latter has an integrated part-of-speech tagger that allows the user creating his/her own pos-annotated corpora to conduct various type of searches adopted in corpus linguistics.
