HASK Collocation Browser gives you instant access to lists of word combinations found in reference corpora of English and Polish. You can use the Browser to find potential collocates of any noun, verb, adjective or adverb in a number of predefined patterns. In addition to detailed statistics it is also possible to browse through the underlying concordances, visualise and download phraseological profiles for a given entry.
On closer inspection, most words which we might think to be synonymous turn out to be used in different
textual combinations.
Colosaurus is an innovative tool for comparing the textual company words keep. Using graph-based
visualisations Colosarus makes it possible to quickly investigate which typical collocates are shared
by a number of words of interest. Users can download and re-model the word graphs generated. It is
also possible to check the original concordances used to generate a given edge in the graph.
