QUERIES
The nine main corpora
have exactly the same architecture and interface, which allows users to carry
out the following types of searches. One of the important advantages of our
corpus architecture is that with one simply query and one click, users can
analyze variation by comparing different sections
of a corpus; e.g. genres in
COCA or
BYU-BNC, dialects in
GloWbE (or between
corpora from different countries), or across
time periods (COHA,
TIME, recent changes in
COCA, and
Google Books (Advanced)).

with end up V-ing): |
Limiting and comparing sections |
|
1) a
chart with the
overall frequency of all matching strings
2) the
individual strings (overall -
all sections)
3) individual strings (in each section of the corpus:
genre, dialect, or time period) |
1. You
can also limit the search to just particular sections of the corpus (e.g.
hard [nn*] in
Fiction)
2. More
importantly, you can compare between two sections of the corpus (e.g.
hard [nn*] in FIC
vs ACAD) -- either by genre, dialect, or time period.
