I can only repeat Dr Berber Sardinha's reply to Stephane Butheau,
WordSmith Tools. It is not free, but is dirt cheap for its capabilities.
Anything else would be limiting. In addition you have the manuel in Word
format to help you through. Highly recommended.
Otherwise look at Mike Scott's website for MicroConcord. Insufficient for
research but fine for students. Mike's site is:

Would be interested to know more about your corpus as I shall shortly be
starting on one in spinal injuries.

Best wishes
