Dear All
Thanks for your information about the concordancers for Chinese language. I
have a question regarding the use of these concordancers. Do you think the
recommended concordancers such as MonoConc Pro can only recognize individual
characters, not actual "words" i.e. strings of characters, or they can in
fact process actual "words"?
Thanks.
Linda

Subject: [Corpora-List] Concordancer for Chinese (Summary of reply)
Some times ago I ask for recommendation on concordancers working on Chinese
characters and thanks for the responses from the following linguists:
Michael Barlow:
MonoConc Pro should work if you are using Chinese Windows. You
would have to use the regex search option in advanced search due to
the lack of spaces. You should try the demo at athel.com
Lou Burnard:
Any concordancer should be able to work with Chinese characters, but it
depends rather on how the characters are encoded.
We are working on a version of Sara which is able to operate on Unicode,
and have been testing it against a Chinese file, which seems to work OK.
Rafal L. Górski:
Try ConcApp http://vlc.polyu.edu.hk/PUB/concapp/. It is a freeware.

The CKIP corpus, which you can link to from www.sinica.edu.tw , is
web-based and lets you do concordances. This is not, however, software that
can be used to process your own texts.
Scott Piao:
I put a downloadable Java tool including multi-lingual concordancer on
webpage:
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/staff/piaosl/research/download/download.htm
It has a Graphical interface, and easy to use. In order to run this tool,
you'll need to install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) first).
