WebCorp Linguistic Search Engine

WebCorp is part of a linguistic search engine developed by The Research and Development Unit for English Studies (RDUES).

RDUES, "based in the School of English at UCE Birmingham, is a small team of corpus linguists, software engineers and statisticians. We carry out applied research in corpus linguistics, developing new descriptions of the language in use and tools for the extraction and management of knowledge in databases. The Unit's linguistic background is broad: corpus-based linguistics, lexicography, applied linguistics, the study of modern English language, modern languages, TEFL."

Webcorp is capable of creating word concordances of website pages.
