The topics in this section build on the foundations discussed in Section 1, Section 2 and Section 3, and thus presuppose that you have read them.

Often, we will export our concordance (once we are satisfied with it) and then work with the data in some external program – for example, we might import it into a spreadsheet in order to add our own annotation to the data, which can then serve as a basis for further analysis.

However, sometimes we may want to create quick summaries of our data – for example, in the form of a frequency list. This simple case and two slightly more complex cases are introduced in the following three sections.

You can read these sections in any order – all of them build on Sections 1, 2 and three, but they do not build on each other. However, they increase in complexity, so it is recommended to read them in the order presented here:

• Section 4a: Frequency lists
• Section 4b: Grouping data
• Section 4c: Collocate lists and tables

Once you have completed all of these topics, you are quite an advanced user of CQP. However, Section 5 contains some expert-level tricks that will drastically improve your love life.
