Advanced Options: Concordances

The Advanced Interface provides more flexibility when it comes to the format and number of concordances produced:

Concordance Options
WebCorp Concordance Options

  • Concordance Span: The Advanced Interface allows you to enter any number between 1 and 50 for the left and right spans around your search term.
     
  • Full Sentences: Instead of specifying the span as a fixed number of words to the left and right, you can choose to display the examples of your search term within the sentence in which it was found. (WebCorp uses heuristics to calculate sentence boundaries when no reliable punctuation is present.)
     
  • Number of Concordance Lines: Use this option to produce results more quickly if you only require a limited number of concordance lines (5, 10 or 50). The default is 'unlimited', in the sense that there is no limit on the number of concordance lines that can be extracted from each web page. There is a limit on the number of web pages accessed in the prototype version of WebCorp (currently 200 pages).
