Online concordancer

Remember we looked at the online concordancer as a way to increase vocabulary? We used the word 'contract'.

Online concordancer

This is what you do:
click on English,
type in a word - try 'business',
choose a corpus from the drop down menu (Brown and BNC written is good)
click 'get concordance', to see the results.
You should get something like this (click on the image to increase its size)



What we're interested in, are the words that come before (and also after) 'business'. These are the ones that will help you increase your word-power and fluency.
