👉 Concord research, developed by David Concord, is a method used to analyze and visualize the relationships between words or concepts within large text corpora. It involves creating a network where each word or concept is represented as a node, and connections (edges) between nodes indicate co-occurrence or semantic similarity in specific contexts. This technique helps researchers identify patterns, clusters, and trends in language use, revealing how words are interconnected and how meanings evolve over time. By examining these networks, researchers can gain insights into linguistic structures, thematic developments, and even cultural shifts within the texts being studied.
