| Tool Details |
| Name | TAPoRware Find Collocates (Plain) |
| Description | Collocation tool takes a word from the user and returns all of
the words directly before and directly after it based on the given
context. Results are listed alphabetically, by frequency, or by Z-score
(an indication of how far and in what direction that item deviates from
its distribution's mean, expressed in units of its distribution's standard
deviation).
NOTE:
If your select context of "Words" with long context length or you select other context: Lines, Sentences or Paragraph,
it is very likely that the specified pattern appears in each text of corcordance more than once. If this occurs, the words of collocation
will be counted more than once as well. So the counts of collocates are not accurate. For the same reason, the zScore values are not
accurate. We will find way to fix this later. |
