Konkordanciakeresés

Konkordanciakeresés is a Hungarian term that translates to "concordance search" or "keyword in context" search. It refers to a computational linguistic technique used to find and display all occurrences of a specific word or phrase within a larger body of text, along with the surrounding text. This allows users to examine how a word is used in various contexts, its typical collocations, and its grammatical patterns.

The primary purpose of konkordanciakeresés is to aid in linguistic analysis, language learning, and lexicography. For language learners, it provides real-world examples of word usage, helping them understand nuances of meaning, register, and idiomatic expressions. Linguists and researchers use it to study language variation, identify patterns in speech or writing, and build dictionaries or corpora. Lexicographers employ it to gather evidence for defining word meanings and documenting their usage.

Konkordanciakeresés tools typically present results in a standardized format, often a table. Each line shows an instance of the search term, usually centered, with a specified number of words preceding and following it. This structured output makes it easy to compare different occurrences and draw conclusions about the word's behavior in the text. Many digital text analysis software and online linguistic resources offer this functionality.
