Carcass Tutorial - Part 3

We will now sort the results: click on Sort and then select A-Z → by right context. The concordance lines will be sorted by right context: you'll notice that punctuation marks (exclamation points, parentheses etc.) appear first in the sort order.

You can also sort by left context or by match (this is only useful if you are not looking for an exact phrase like we did in this example). If you choose Z-A instead of A-Z results will be sorted in inverted alphabetical order.

Finally unsorted restores the original order of the concordance lines (i.e. the order in which they appear in the corpus).

Carcass by default displays 10 tokens on either side of the match, it is possible to increase the context size by clicking on the “+” button in the Context size section of the toolbar.

The context increases to 20, 50 and 100 tokens on both sides every time the “+” button is clickedar. It decreases by an equal amount every time the “-” button is clicked (to a minimum of 10 tokens).
