Cohorts allows you to retrieve all the cohorts which are present within a given list of words. for example; if we have a list of only two words aarde and aardig we have the cohorts:
a
aa
aar
aard
aarde
aardi
aardig
If we set the retrieve mode within Cohorts to Number, the number of times a cohort appears in our list will be retrieved. In our example we will obtain:
a\2
aa\2
aar\2
aard\2
aarde\1
aardi\1
aardig\1
If we set the retrieve mode within Cohorts to Words, the words within every cohort will be retrieved. In our example we will obtain:
The list we want to examine must be specified as the Home list in the file selection field. The list can be a table and the column number or column name must be specified within the Column field (1 represents the first field). The table must be of a specific format, which is compliant with the default format when a lexicon is created by WebCelex.
The format is as follows:
{Column Name 1}\Column Name 2}\...
{Value 1}\Value 2}\...
In our case we could have:
Type\Freq
aarde\100
aardig\5
with the column field set to 'Type' or '1'.
The Table checkbox displays retrieved results in the form of a table. Otherwise, results will be displayed in the standard WebCelex format.
