CONSTRUCTING A CONTEXTUAL CONCORDANCETHROUGHSNOBOL Alan Lo Tharp Computer Science Department North Carolina State University INTRODUCTION Wyatt (1975) and Pappin & Smith (1976) have previously reported in SIGLASH on the usefulness of the Snobol programming language (Griswold, 1973) for text processing. Other examples of text processing relevant to the humanities include the analysis of the Federalist Papers (Sedelow, 1970) to determine authorship and the analysis of the Brown Standard Corpus (Kucera & Francis, 1967) to determine current American English usage (e.g. Do people actually s p l i t i n f i n i t i v e s ?

Investigations into such questions may often be f a c i l i t a t e d by constructing a concordance of the textual material being analyzed A concordance which also includes a word's context would in many cases be even more useful. The program subsequently described was developed to construct such a contextual concordance. In addition, i t was designed to be f l e x i b l e , e f f
