Is there any way of extending the context on VIEW so that you can get more of an idea of how the search word is used?
Thanks,
Kate.

The BNC has about 10-11 million words from newspapers, and is available
as part of the VIEW site (http://view.byu.edu).
This site also allows you to search just one part of the 100 million
word corpus (i.e. just the newspapers), so this may be a useful feature
for you. Finally, you can even zero in on just sub-registers of
newspapers (broadsheet, tabloid, sports reporting, etc).
Best,
Mark Davies
