1 week ago For this assignment, I chose to analyze the content of the "www.txt" file using AntConc. As I experimented with the software, I observed that many of the frequently repeated words in the text were "fillers," such as "and," "but," "for," and "a." These words dominated the search results in the NGRAM tab, with most appearing over 100 times. When I shifted to the KWIC (Key Word in Context) view, one word in particular stood out: "for." The KWIC search revealed that "for" commonly appeared in specific phrases, such as "for the most part" (11 times), "for the first time" (9 times), and "for a moment" (19 times). This insight highlighted for me how often certain phrases are used in everyday language, even if we may not consciously notice their frequency.
