CLOC
Ray3055: /* History */
CLOC was a 1st generation general purpose text analyzer program produced at the [[University of Birmingham]] that could produce [[concordance|concordances]] as well as word lists and [[Collocation|collocational]] analysis of text. First-generation [[concordancer|concordancers]] were typically held on a [[mainframe computer]] and used at a single site; individual research teams would build their own concordancer and use it on the data they had access to locally, any further analysis was done by separate programs.<ref>[http://bit.ly/2GmbfQd Concordancing tools] - Lancs University website</ref>
==History==
CLOC was written by Alan Reed in [[ALGOL 68-R|Algol 68-R]] which was available only on the [[ICT 1900 series]] of computer at that time. Perhaps because it was designed for use in a department of linguistics rather than by computer specialists it had the distinction of having a comparatively simple user interface,<ref>[http://bit.ly/2SnihdW] Susan Hockey, 1979. Computing in the Humanities - ICL Technical Journal Vol 1 Issue 3 pp 289</ref> it also has some useful features for studying collations or the co-occurrence of words. <ref>http://bit.ly/2GltsgC>
CLOC was used in the [[COBUILD]] project that was headed by [[John McHardy Sinclair|Professor John Sinclair]]. <ref>[http://bit.ly/2StuVbc] Laurence Anthony (2013), A critical look at software tools in corpus linguistics, Linguistic Research 30(2), 141-161
