- Accessing the COCA (Corpus of Contemporary American English)
- Accessing the BNC (British National Corpus)
- Comparing raw and per million frequencies
- Comparing frequencies across different subcorpora (text genres/registers)
- Selecting a random sample of concordance lines
- Searching for collocates
