      Dear Francesca,

      Dear all,

        I'm looking for pubblications regarding the analysis of concordances in terms of semantic contexts and prosody, but I've not been able to find a useful bibliography for the moment.
        Does any of you know about papers on this particular topic?

        Thanks in advance,
        Francesca Bianchi

        YoThis page is maintained by Tony McEnry and Andrew Wilson and is an excellent
        start for an introduction to corpus linguistics
        http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/monkey/ihe/linguistics/contents.htm

        http://web.bham.ac.uk/johnstf/- This is Tim John's homepage and has more to
        do with using concordances in the classroom, but might be useful for you
        too.

        Nelson, M. (2000) A Corpus-Based Study of Business English and Business
        English Teaching Materials. Unpublished PhD Thesis. Manchester: -might be a
        bit helpful since it has to do with business English-although admittedly I
        haven't had time to read it all.

        This has some links-if you scroll down to some jounals that might be of
        interest

        ConcApp Concordancing Programs- http://vlc.polyu.edu.hk/pub/concapp/ this is
        a free concordancing program you can download (although I personally Mike
        Scott's Wordsmith-which really isn't that expensive if you plan on using it
        for a long time-think I paid 60 pounds for it through OUP-it'll send you the
        product by e-mail and you can download it-you can go to:
        http://www.liv.ac.uk/~ms2928/homepage.html) to find out more about it

        This the WordNet program which is also worth looking into for concordancing.
        http://www.ai.mit.edu/~jrennie/WordNet/

        This page is maintained by Micahel Barlow and gives lots of links to corpora
        and information about corpora
        http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~barlow/corpus.html

        You can search here for journal articles that you might be looking for or
        just type in a subject name and it will search for articles for you.

        This is David Lee's page and is an excellent start for finding information
        regarding corpus linguistics-lots of links, lots of good information
        http://devoted.to/corpora

        You can search here for concordance strings-although it's rather new-I
        didn't have much luck with it-but I'm sure that's because of what I was
        searching for and the way I searched, anyway I know it is being improved-
