Can I produce a keyword list using two wordlists?

[Ahmad Haider]

Hello,

You know that keywords are worked out by first making a wordlist for the target corpus, and a wordlist for a "reference" corpus, then comparing the frequency of each word in the two lists.

I know how to produce a keyword list in Antconc following the traditional way. I am also aware that I can select the "Use word list(s)" option in tool preferences to generate keywords even when the original reference corpus is not available.

I was just wondering whether I can create a keyword list in Antconc using a word list against another wordlist bearing in mind that I don’t have access to the corpora from which these two wordlist were originally produced.

Regards,

Ahmad

Hi Ahmad,

Sorry to say that you cannot do this at the moment. I know it is something that I should add and I am planning to. You'll just have to wait. Keep watching this space though.
