    Dear all--

    Sorry for the delay in this reply, but hope this is of help:

    See of course:
    Scott, M 1998, WordSmith Tools Manual, version 3.0, Mike Scott and
    Oxford University Press. Available from
    http://www/liv.ac.uk/~ms2928/wordsmit.htm.

    Also a helpful example:
    Scott, M 1997, ‘PC analysis of key words – and key key words', System,
    vol 25, no 2, 233-245.

    And available on the WWW:
    Tribble, C 1998?, ‘Genres, keywords, teaching: towards a pedagogic
    account of the language of project proposals'. Available at
    http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Christopher_Tribble/Genre.htm

    Also quite interesting if you can track it down, but not really on key
    words per se:

    Hoey, M 1997, ‘From concordance to text structure: New uses for computer
    corpora', in Melia J, and Lewandowska B (eds), Proceedings of PALC 97,
    Lodz University Press.
