The corpus platform and analysis software Sketch Engine contains morphologically annotated online corpora in more than 90 languages. It is used in the fields of linguistics, translation studies and German studies, as well as for information modelling, interpreting and language learning. You can configure it in various ways to fit your research precisely, including through interlinkable tools such as:
- Word Sketch: one-page, automatically derived summaries of the grammatical and collocational behaviour of a word
- Word Sketch Difference: comparisons of two words by contrasting their collocations
- Wordlist: various kinds of frequency lists with complex filter criteria
- Concordance: search tool for word forms, lemmas, phrases, etc., with a variety of filters
- N-grams: analysis of the most frequent words used together with a search term
