The point of it…

Suppose you're interested in identifying structures of a certain type (as opposed to a given word or phrase), for example sequences of Noun+Noun+Noun. You can type in the tags you want to concordance on (with or without any words).

 

 

How to do it…

In Concord's search-word box, type in the tags you are interested in. Or define your tags in a tag-file.

 

Examples

It doesn't matter whether you are using a tag file or not, since WordSmith will identify your tags automatically. (But not by magic: of course you do need to use previously tagged text to use this function.)

 

Concordancing on tags

If your search-word or phrase includes tags, check Search Word Syntax.

 

Case Sensitivity

Search words aren't case sensitive (by default).

 

Hide Tags?

After you have generated a concordance you may wish to hide the mark-up. See the View menu for this.

 

Very long tags?

If your mark-up system uses long tags like these

you can shorten them for legibility.
