  2. Concordancers are general-purpose working tools for the close study of texts, whether the texts are literary, linguistic, historical, religious, philosophical, legal, commercial, or of other kinds.  • A concordance is first of all a comprehensive index to a text, similar to the index at the back of a book, except that every occurrence of every word in the text can have an entry in a concordance.  By looking up a word in a full concordance you can be certain you have found every instance of that word in the text. In addition, every instance of each word is shown in an illustrative context, and is provided with a reference to show whereabouts the word (and its context) occur in the original text.

  3. With Concordance, you can • make indexes and word lists • count word frequencies • compare different usages of a word • analyse keywords • find phrases and idioms
