the application of concordance program
Concordance are listing of keywords in context (KWIC). While concordancer is a tool or a program which is software that helps to list the words in context. The purpose of concordance is to analyze the text. The concordance program suitable for those who want to study the text closely or analyze language in depth. The use of concordance are it makes indexes or word lists, count word frequencies. The third used is compare different usages of word, analyze keywords. The fifth used of concordance is find phrases and idioms and the last uses is publish to the web.
Last week tutor, we have discussed about the occurrences of article ‘a’ and preposition ‘about’ in the sample of concordance that are provided. We use ‘a’ only with a singular noun such as the definite article, we also use ’a’ as a complement when we are describing something. In this sample of concordance ‘a’ occur before a noun, adjective, verb and adverb. For example ‘a’ occur before an adjective is ‘a pretty quick pace’. In this sentences pretty and quick are both adjective, so pretty is became an adverb. T he next word classes that occur after ‘a’ is verb which is ‘a cry’, in this sentences the verb act as a noun when we apply ‘a’ before it.
The next word class that we discussed is prepositional ‘about’. A prepositional usually comes before a noun, determiner, pronoun and relative pronoun. Sometimes a prepositional can come after a noun. In this sample of concordance a prepositional that occur before a determiner is ‘about the house’. Next, a prepositional that occur before an adverb is ‘about just now’. The next example is a prepositional that occur before a pronoun is ‘about me’. The last example is a prepositional that occur before relative pronoun is ‘about whom I had heard so many’ and ‘about him she had fallen so’
In page 70 that we discussed together, we noticed that concordance has many application. The first application is it can be a language teaching and learning. For example a students have to write an essay that was based on a picture series and was administered by the researches during visits to school. The next application is data mining and data clean- up, literary work and linguistic. The fourth application is translation and corpus linguistics. The last application is content analysis.
Although concordance has its own advantages and the software can be used to help analyze the language data that available, many may still be easily disturbed by the huge amount of data available. Based on written data that is provided in this chapter, the results of concordance and analysis indicate some form of development in terms of language production as well as vocabulary range. The data that used in this chapter was taken from THE EMAS CORPUS collected in 2002.
I n short, concordance has many benefits to people who studying language. It often help to inform on how words and grammatical construction are used. Teachers, researchers and even language learners typically examine concordance lines to discover new words and grammatical construction are used.
