Definition of concordance 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 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.
These are the example; “he was reckoned very Handsome; his person much admired”
As a conclusion, concordance is the language corpus that has been use as the basis of dictionaries and teaching materials. It is also help in the vocabulary, how the rules in the concordance have being applied into writing since early age.
