Abstract

We present software that generates phrase-based concordances in real-time based on Internet searching. When a user enters a string of words for which he wants to find concordances, the system sends this string as a query to a search engine and obtains search results for the string. The concordances are extracted by performing statistical analysis on search results and then fed back to the user. Unlike existing tools, this concordance consultation tool is language-independent, so concordances can be obtained even in a language for which there are no well-established analytical methods. Our evaluation has revealed that concordances can be obtained more effectively than by only using a search engine directly.
