Concordancer

{{Short description|Computer program that constructs concordances}}

A concordancer is a computer program that automatically constructs a concordance. The output of a concordancer may serve as input to a translation memory system for computer-assisted translation, or as an early step in machine translation.

Concordancers are also used in corpus linguistics to retrieve alphabetically or otherwise sorted lists of linguistic data from the corpus in question, which the corpus linguist then analyzes.

A number of concordancers have been published,[http://onlineqda.hud.ac.uk/Which_software/what_packages_are_available/concordance.php] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161211154308/http://onlineqda.hud.ac.uk/Which_software/what_packages_are_available/concordance.php |date=2016-12-11 }} What packages are available
