Colosaurus
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.
