A method to reduce large number of concordances
María Pozzi, Javier Becerra, Jaime Iván Rangel, Luis Fernando Lara · 1980
In order to help to solve the problem of analysing large number of concordances of a given word 'W', the 'Diccionario del Espa~ol de M~xico~ (DEM), has implemented a programme that i) Reduces this number, as to obtain the maximum possible informati.onwith the minimum number of concordances to be handled.ii) Sortes and rearranges the output so that similar concordances are printed out together.This was done by comparing up to four words to the left and to the right of word W, through the whole set of concordances, associating toge: ther those which were repeated in a particular context.Once knowing this, some significant concordances were selected to be printed out, and the rest was discarded.
