Hai, how do you do? I hope you in the pink and nice to meet you again in my blog. I hope that you will be enjoy and get a lot of information. Today, I want to talk about the concordance and we know that the concordance is very interesting to learn among students. So, I hope that you can enjoy blogging and thank you for you attention.
What is the concordance?
In my views, the concordance means the same words or lexical that provides differences meaning or function in the sentences. Other than that, a concordance also is an alphabetical list of the principal words used in a book or body of work, with their immediate contexts. Because of the time and difficulty and expense involved in creating a concordance in the pre-computer era, only works of special importance, such as the Bible, Qur'an or the works of Shakespeare, had concordances prepared for them.

Even with the use of computers, producing a concordance (whether on paper or in a computer) may require much manual work, because they often include additional material, including commentary on, or definitions of, the indexed words, and topical cross-indexing that is not yet possible with computer-generated and computerized concordances.
However, when the text of a work is on a computer, a search function can carry out the basic task of a concordance, and is in some respects even more versatile than one on paper. A bilingual concordance is a concordance based on aligned parallel text. A topical concordance is a list of subjects that a book (usually The Bible) covers, with the immediate context of the coverage of those subjects. Unlike a traditional concordance, the indexed word does not have to appear in the verse. The most well known topical concordance is Nave's Topical Bible.
The first concordance, to the Vulgate Bible, was compiled by Hugo de Saint Charo (d.1262), who employed 500 monks to assist him. In 1448 Rabbi Mordecai Nathan completed a concordance to the Hebrew Bible. It took him ten years. 1599 saw a concordance to the Greek New Testament published by Henry Stephens and the Septuagint was done a couple of years later by Conrad Kircher in 1602. The first concordance to the English bible was published in 1550 by Mr Marbeck, according to Cruden it did not employ the verse numbers devised by Robert Stephens in 1545 but "the pretty large concordance" of Mr Cotton did. Then followed the notorious Cruden's Concordance and Strong's Concordance
In additions, I want to sum up the using concordances to investigate language development by Arshad Abd. Samad from Universiti Putra Malaysia in OTL book. Nowadays, The language corpus that we used now become a basic of dictionariesa and teaching materials. So, the concordance software become the important materials in our ICT course. This software can give information to analyzing language data and greatly extend the potential of a corpus in language teaching and learning. It also can help students to look at the semantically of language as an interesting linguistics puzzle.
There are several links about the concordance:
Lastly, I hope you will enjoy blogging and may God bless you.
