The concordance of a word shows its occurrences in some text,
with the (immediate) surroundings displayed, often a line, a sentence, or the adjacent words.
Concordances can be used to
- study a text in detail,
- inspect the usage of a word in a text or corpus (or in general),
- to gather statistics for analyses related to collocations, distributional similarity and such.
A properly annotated parallel text can be used as a parallel/bilingual concordance, useful for translation and to study cross-language patterns.
A topical concordance is one which lists all text dealing with a subject, rather than that around a literal word.

- Concordance is sometimes meant as an inflection of concord, referring to agreement.
