Concordances
-
A concordance is "a comprehensive index of words used in a text
or a body of texts". This concordance happens to be used for literary
studies.
Because the index shows all usage of a word, the concordance may be used
to compare contexts to gain insight into meanings. It may be useful for
legal and philosophical studies, as well as finding cross-references in
intranet and in research activities.
