Dear Prof. Anthony,

I am working with two sub-corpora : native and non native essays to see the differences with discourse markers usages.

I went to sort by  both effect and loglikelihood bot found no hit. 
Do you have any suggestions on Keyness analysis or compare two things?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

It looks like you're trying to find the word "though". Remove the search word to get a list of all the keywords.

Laurence.

Good morning, Professor. I am studying reporting verbs in postgraduate theses. How can I use AntConc to identify the inflected forms of individual words. Example, if I want to know the other forms of 'explain' such as explains, explained, what should I do? Thank you

Thank you for your previous suggestions. However, I am encountering an issue regarding the discourse markers that I intend to compare using log-likelihood analysis. After exporting the results into Excel and attempting to identify the specific discourse markers, I found that none of my target markers appeared in the data. I am unsure whether this issue arises from an error in the methodology or a problem within the dataset itself.

Could you please assist me by examining the data or guiding me on how to resolve this issue? I have attached the data file for your reference.

Thank you very much for your assistance. I am very new here.

This looks like a question for a new discussion thread. The quick answer though is to POS tag your data, load that in AntConc, and then search for the lemma form.

You haven't really given us enough information to be able to resolve your issue. I suggest you open one of your files, locate a word of interest, and then try to find it in AntConc. If you can, it means that the software is working fine.
