1. Type in query words
Type in the words in the entry field and click Slå op ('Look up').

2. Edit wordgroup (rediger ordgruppe)
Choose the corpus you are interested in - either Korpus 2000 (default) or Korpus 90.

Choose if you want to look up exactly the phrase you entered (default) or lemmas or if you want to substitute one or more of the words by the wildcard * or by a part-of-speech category.

Using wildcards

The wildcards '?' and '*' can be used in queries. '?' substitutes exactly one character, while '*' substitutes zero, one or more characters. It is possible to combine the two characters.

Sorting the concordance

Concordances can be sorted according to the node word or according to the word either before or after the node word. To sort a concordance, you must choose either "sorter konkordansen efter nøgleord" ('sort by node word'), "sorter konkordansen efter efterfølgende ord/element" ('sort by succeeding word'), or "sorter konkordansen efter foregående ord/element" ('sort by preceding word') in the roll-down menu above the concordance, and click Udfør ('sort').

More information about the text

By clicking the link Info next to each concordance line it is possible to see an extended context and more information about the text itself.

Exporting the concordance

Concordances with more than one hundred results are displayed in sequential pages, each with one hundred lines of concordance text. However, if you wish to store a long concordance on your computer, you may prefer to retrieve it from the corpus query system as one continuous page. In this case, click on the link Eksporter resultat ('export result') in the top right-hand corner above the concordance. This will enable you to view the entire concordance in a single browser window. From there, you can copythe entire concordance and paste it into a text editor.
