A big part of #RC21 has been fiction. In our new blog post, we use Flexiconc to examine "eyes" in the nonfiction sections of the #BNC.

FlexiConc is now available on www.clic-fiction.com.
Cluster concordance lines, partition by metadata, filter by POS tag or regex, and everything you do builds into an analysis tree you can retrace and share.
We walk through all of it with body part nouns in 19C fiction.

Thanks to everyone who attended our talk at #DHTD2024!
We got many great questions and suggestions giving us a lot to think about for the continued work on our concordance analysis tool FlexiConc!

Lots of new ideas and new ways of thinking about how we will work with concordances. Super looking forward to trying out the new AntConc and FlexiConc packages
