I created this document to illustrate how one might use free concordancing software to (1) count and rank frequency of lexical items (words) in a collection of texts, and (2) copy and paste into Excel all of the sentences that represent instances of usage of a single lexical item to better identify various context-dependent meanings. I show how Excel can be well suited for annotating, categorizing, and ranking different kinds usage and meaning.
