Sketch Engine  1. Background  The Sketch Engine is a web-based
program which takes as its input a corpus of any language with
an appropriate level of linguistic mark-up. The Sketch Engine
has a number of language-analysis functions, the core ones
being:   * the Concordancer A program which displays all
occurrences from the corpus for a given query. The program is

summary of a word's grammatical and collocational behaviour. It
