Quechua is one of the many languages whose text corpora are included in Sketch Engine, a tool
for discovering how language works. Sketch Engine is designed for linguists, lexicologists,
lexicographers, researchers, translators, terminologists, teachers and students working with
Quechua to easily discover what is typical and frequent in the language and to notice
phenomena which would go unnoticed without a large sample of Quechua text.
Sketch Engine has tools to identify and analyse collocations, synonyms and antonyms, examples of
use in context, keywords or terms. Frequency word lists of Quechua single-word or multi-word
expressions of various types can be generated. Even users without any technical knowledge can
create their own Quechua corpus using the Sketch Engine's intuitive built-in tool.
Tools to work with Quechua text corpora
To work with the Quechua language, Sketch Engine offers the following tools:
Quechua concordance
The concordancer included in Sketch Engine can be used to display a list
of examples (called concordance) of the search word or phrase as it appears in Quechua
language text corpora. The search will display the keyword with some context to the right and
context to the left of the keyword (KWIC concordance).

Quechua word lists
The word list feature will generate a frequency list of all words that
appear in a text or corpus. A very large corpus can be used to generate a list of all words that
exist in Quechua or all words that start, contain or end with specific characters. Advanced
options can be used to generate lists of grammatical categories or parts of speech used in a corpus
together with their frequencies. more»
N-grams in Quechua
Generating a list of N-grams contained in a text makes it possible to
identify and study patterns and notice phenomena related to multi-word units (MWU) in Quechua
that cannot be detected by other tools. more»
