Mike,

    These look like useful leads. Lextutor has a concordance check with input text, and that is basically what I am looking for. I will take some time looking through the rest.

    We have already been using COCA. COCA allows a student to input a small amount of text, with word frequency measured against the larger corpus (fairly rough categories.) I wanted some way to explore key words and repetition in their own or successful texts.

    This is very helpful.

Craig:



Websites for text analysis are:

www.lextutor.ca<http://www.lextutor.ca>

http://www.laurenceanthony.net/software/antconc/

https://nottingham.ac.uk/alzsh3/acvocab/index.htm

http://www.er.uqam.ca/nobel/r21270/cgi-bin/webfreqs/read_trial.cgi

WordSmith Tools. See www.lexically.net/wordsmith<http://www.lexically.net/wordsmith>

http://corpus.byu.edu

http://www.webcorp.org.uk/live/

http://www.webdante.com/the_dtd.html



These websites have been around for a long time, so they are well developed. I suggest looking at Anderson and Corbitt's "Exploring English With Online Corpora: An Introduction." or "Linquist's Corpus Linguistics and the Description of English."

Does anyone know of a student friendly resource for doing analysis of text? Is there a site where a student can load in a text and get back an analysis of word frequencies, sentence patterns, and the like, for their own or for someone else’s writing? Is anyone doing that routinely with students?
