I am not sure how I did this before so I can't recreate the search. I am trying to search for 2 specific lemmas close to each other. Before, I was able to type in child+woman and got results for any lines containing child and woman close to/next to each other. I do not know how to recreate a search like this.

Hello, I am working on Collocations and I have built my own corpus, but can you tell me please, is it possible to extract all collocations in my corpus as a list of collocations, which are used there? Or must I search for it in Wordsketch with a single lemma? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I watched your tutorials but couldn't find a way to search for synonyms using CQL. For instance, I would like to search the pattern of 'very and synonyms of very' occurring near 'probably'. What can I do to accomplish this? I would greatly appreciate your help, thanks.

Hi! I'm writing a term paper on the use of double negation in English. I am using the British National Corpus for that. I am struggling with creating a formula though: I basically need a formula for double negation. I tried [word="not|no|ain't"] but I am just getting sentences containing one of all those words. However, I need a combination of one word from the first part AND one word from the second part. I would really appreciate it if you had any helpful tip for me. Thank you!

Thank you for your valuable video. Could you please show me how to find all the sentences including "make somebody/someone + Verb". I know that we can use CQL, but I don't know the formula. Please show me, Thank you

Thank you for this video. When I count the frequency of KWICs, I also want to find the range i.e. how many texts within the same corpus contain this particular KWIC word form.

Is there any way to filter by document properties? for example, only return results whose doc.date is between such and such dates.

hi, can I look for several non consecutive words at the same time?

[teotao]

How can I set 2 words to be found within the same sentence, but not necessary together? So that they can occupy random positions and be divided by other words in the sentence

Can I use CQL to create a subcorpus with a list of multiple words?

Hi, I am conducting a study about the functions of "you" in Ted Talks. How can I specify my research to get the results for you as either subject and object pronoun? How can I search for NS and NNS in Ted Talks?
