Hi, folks—

Please forgive if this is a pure newby question.

I’m looking to do some analysis of a large body of poetry, and I’d like to be able to sort according to individual words and then map those usages against other terms to map out their relationships. I’d also like to be able to tag the terms in a number of ways, especially according to date of appearance. I know I’ve run across references to software that allows this kind of thing (other than just fancy SQL programming), but I can’t call any of it to mind.

Anyone know of any easily accessible and not too expensive software that does this kind of thing? Or is my memory completely faulty?

Thx, and best from Anchorage,

Dan
