Collocation

One of the sources used in researching this work shown in the 'Arboreal' section. A computer concordance is a software tool designed to provide linguistic data for textual analysis, in the form of a list of words used in a body of work together with their immediate context. I used the Collins WordbanksOnline English corpus which is composed of 56 million words of contemporary written and spoken text. A sample of the software is available online at this web address.
