CONCORDANCERS

"A concordancer extracts real language from a database of millions of words and present users with real examples of a selected word in context. This allows the learner to draw conclusions about the contexts in which words are used, the different uses and meanings which a word can have, and the grammatical constructions in which particular words are found. e.g. Contexts, Microconcord."  ( http://www.wyllison.u-net.com/compel8.html )
