A word sketch processes the word’s %[collocate|collocates]% and other words in its surroundings. It can be used as a one-page summary of the word’s grammatical and collocational behaviour. The results are organized into categories, called grammatical relations, such as words that serve as an object of the verb, words that serve as a subject of the verb, words that modify the word etc. Some grammatical relations may display usage statistics instead of collocates. Only nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs are supported in most corpora. The collocations which will be included in the analysis are defined by rules specified in the sketch grammar.
