This is not a bad output, I see context in a similar was a KWIC concordance and can access the underlying data immediately. Which is the results output from a text search in NVivo. From text to context – displaying search results in NVivo at Present Since I first encountered KWIC in a module on corpus approaches to language teaching I have recognised that it has an incredible simplicity and power compared to many other ways of showing highlighted text. I can see, without being able to understand, that there is a difference between lines 1, 2 3, lines 4 though 11 are the same, line 12 is different and lines 13 through 20 are the same in terms of the words in red that appear before (it’s R>L text, remember!) the highlighted keyword. Not only can I not read the script it is written from right-to-left, yet KWIC works. In the image above I cannot even read the script – I don’t read arabic. This image from the excellent QD in Practice event organised at Leeds University really drove home to me just how powerful and useful KWIC (Key Words In Context) concordance displays can be.
