Hi @vaclavbrezina little question about #LancsBox: what are the software's criteria to count word tokens? Thanks 😉

Does anyone know which options to choose in Antconc for it to count a corpus in the same way as LancsBox? I would like to use them both on a corpus...

To all #lancsbox users, is there a way to change the default context in KWIC from 7 to 15 words? I know that I have to change the code in the file “but I don’t know which line to modify. Any ideas? @vaclavbrezina @_paulbaker_ @GavinBrookes26

Question to the moderators of #corpusMOOC: when using LancsBox, is there a way to tell the software to not consider XML or TEI mark up in the word calculation? Basically, can we hide the mark-up in LancsBox? If not, what are the alternatives? Thanks in advance!

To all #LancsBox users: how can you force the software to hide XML mark up and not let it count it in the stats? 🤔Thanks😃 #corpuslinguistics

Has anyone used #LancsBox and why haven't you told me about it?

Ok, I got lost in the BNC and #lancsbox and some properly underhand, layered agent de-emphasis by a couple of corporates BUT anyway, I'm quite demotivated to continue now. Stairway was a nightmare.

Hi @vaclavbrezina, I’m comparing corpora of men and women’s texts with each other. How come that when using Keywords calculator in LancsBox it gives me the same keyword list (LL) regardless, if I take the men or women’s corpus as target corpus? Shouldn’t the lists be different?
