Collocation - HTML (TAPoRware)

This tool provides all words directly before and after a user-specified word, based on the desired context of words, lines, sentences or paragraphs. The results can be sorted 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). XML and plain text versions are also available within the TAPoRware toolsets.

This tool’s functionality has been incorporated into Voyant available online at www.voyant-tools.org.
