The display is similar to that in the WordList tool.

 

3-letter_chargrams

Contexts

This column shows the word-contexts for each chargram. You can double-click to see the whole list.

 

chargrams_contexts_listed

Sorting

You can sort by clicking a header. This offers you two of the columns to sort on, a primary sort and then where values on the primary sort are the same a secondary sort. In this example the user is choosing the number of texts in descending order and then word-position in ascending order.

chargram_sort_dlg

This gave the following list (extract):

 

chargrams_by_texts

Word-initial chargrams 1-15 and mid-word chargrams 16 onwards all occurred in all 100% of the texts selected.

 

Concordancing

As in many other Tools, you can concordance selected items by choosing Compute | Concordance in the menu.

 

In the case above I wondered about the context word cou

cou concordanced

... which clearly shows speech reformulation.
