Term and Phrase Lists

The Term and Phrase Lists section of the Text Explorer report contains tables of terms and phrases found in the text after tokenization has occurred. See Figure 12.8 for an example of the Term and Phrase Lists report. The Count column in the term list indicates the number of occurrences of the term in the corpus. The Count column in the phrase list indicates the number of occurrences of the phrase in the corpus; the N column indicates the number of words in the phrase.

By default, the Terms List is sorted in descending count order; terms that are tied in count are sorted alphabetically. The Phrases List is sorted in descending count order; phrases that are tied in count are then sorted in descending length (N) order. Further ties in the Phrases List are sorted alphabetically. The sort order of each list can be changed to alphabetical sorting using the options in each list.

The phrases that appear in the phrase list are determined by the settings of the Maximum Words per Phrase and Maximum Number of Phrases options in the launch window. Phrases that occur only one time in the data table do not appear in the phrase list.

Phrases can be specified as terms at various scopes. Phrases in the phrase list that have been specified as terms are colored based on the scope of the phrase specification (Table 12.1). For more information about specifying phrases in different scopes, see Term Options Management Windows.
