# Corpus Collocates Corpus Collocates is a table view of which terms appear more frequently in proximity to keywords across the entire corpus. ## Overview The table view shows the following three columns by default: - *Term*: this is the keyword (or keywords) being searched - *Collocate*: these are the words found in proximity of each keyword - *Count (context)*: this is the frequency of the collocate occurring in proximity to the keyword An additional column can be shown to display *Count* which is the frequency of the keyword term in the corpus – see the [Grids](#!/guide/grids) guide for more information. By default, the most frequent collocates are shown for the 10 most frequent keywords in the corpus.

## Options You can add specify which keyword to use by typing a query into the search box and hitting enter (see [Term Searches](#!/guide/search) for more advanced searching capabilities). There is also a slider that determines how much context to consider when looking for collocates. The value specifies the number of words to consider on _each_ side of the keyword (so the total window of words is double). By default the context is set to 5 words per side, and the slider can have a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 30. Clicking on the [Options](#!/guide/options) icon also allows you to define a set of stopwords to exclude – see the [stopwords guide](#!/guide/stopwords) for more information. ## Additional Information For a graphical view of corpus collocates, try the [Collocates Graph](#!/guide/collocatesgraph) tool. ## See Also - [Getting Started](#!/guide/start) - [Grids](#!/guide/grids) - [Stopwords](#!/guide/stopwords) - [Default Skin](#!/guide/skins-section-default-skin) - [List of Tools](#!/guide/tools) - [Collocates Graph](#!/guide/collocatesgraph)
