Σύνοψη	N-gram analysis is a corpus-linguistic technique that extracts and ranks every contiguous sequence of n words (or characters) in a corpus, exposing the recurrent multi-word units — two-word bigrams, three-word trigrams, and longer 'lexical bundles' — that make up a register or text type. By counting how often each sequence recurs, it reveals the prefabricated, formulaic backbone of language that single-word frequency lists cannot capture.	Corpus concordance analysis is a core corpus-linguistic technique that retrieves every occurrence of a search word or phrase from a large body of machine-readable text and displays them in keyword-in-context (KWIC) format — the target term aligned in a central column with its surrounding co-text. By reading and sorting these lines, analysts uncover the recurrent patterns, collocations, and meanings of words as they are actually used, grounding linguistic claims in attested evidence rather than introspection.
