(1) Enter the title of your text.

(2) Copy or type the text in here.
Enter your text here. This program will pull out all its recurring word strings up to and including the length you specify. For a demonstration, just click SUBMIT to enter this text (and when you "enter this text" you will see at least one recurring three-word string). Of course, not every word string is a meaningful unit, and not every meaningful multi-word unit is a lexicalised unit as described in the research (links this page). Therefore, this program allows inspection of each extracted string in concordance format so that its status can be determined. TEXT SET-UP Eventually, this program will accept ANY text input regardless of formatting irregularity. In the meantime, please report any errors to Tom, with the offending text attached where possible (email on home page). General: Include an empty space after every comma or full stop, but not before. Correct any spelling errors as these may hide recurrences.
