Concordancers, such as WordCruncher, are used in the analysis of literary texts to identify the vocabulary usage peculiarities and frequently used turns of phrase of a writer. When used in terminology, these products can count and list the occurrences of a given term in a text. They can also show the term together with the words that precede it and follow it within the constraints which you can specify (for example, five words before and five words after the term).

Within these series of occurrences, you will find the most commonly used or more relevant phraseologisms and can then structure them according to the record-completion rules applicable to the phraseologisms component of a terminology record.
