Hello Professor Anthony,
 I'm using AntConc(4.2.4) software. How can I found adjectives in a corpus? My 'research thesis' is  based on adjectives in a corpus of five novels. Looking forward,

Hi Ikram,

For this, you'll need to load a POS tagged corpus into AntConc. If you don't have one, you can use my TagAnt tool to tag your data. 

Then, load the corpus into AntConc remembering to activate the "simple_word_pos_headword" indexer in the corpus manager.

After that, you can search for adjectives using a search like:
*_JJ

I hope that helps!

Laurence.

First tag data the through MAT or any other POS tagger then search the tag(s) of adjectives in Antconc after uploading the tagged data.
