Hello everyone,

I’m currently researching cranberry words in Portuguese. A cranberry word is a type of "fossilized" word that only appears in specific phrases, like "fro" in "to and fro". This means that 100% of its occurrences in a corpus are in the same linguistic context (such as following "to and").

I was wondering if there’s a way to find these words in a Portuguese corpus using AntConc. I already have a list of cranberry words, but I’m hoping to discover new ones that might not be on my list. Is that possible with AntConc?

Thanks!
