| The basic type of query evaluation is [[en:pojmy:konkordance|concordance]], in particular, the concordance list. It is a list of all verbs or phrases which fit the ([[en:pojmy:kwic|KWIC]]) query, along with their right and left contexts, possibly also with information about the source text. A long concordance list is usually divided into several pages, and it is possible to switch between them with the help of the arrows placed in the header and footer of the concordance list. Display parameter settings (the number of rows on a page, length of context etc.) can be changed with the [[en:manualy:kontext:moznosti_zobrazeni|View]] option. | The basic kind of query is [[en:pojmy:konkordance|concordance]], in particular, a concordance list.

| The text of the link in the Query item always shows the query entered by the user in a simplified way, followed by the number of occurrences in parentheses. The query can be displayed (including the selected corpus and all conditions) and edited using the link, i.e. its parameters can be changed directly above the searched concordance (without the need to enter a new query). This feature is especially useful if you want to refine or update the original query. When editing a query, you must also decide whether the following operations should be performed on the concordance. They include a useful shuffle option (this can be run once from the menu **Concordance → Shuffle** or set as default in the menu **View → General view options**, see the section below for details), so it is usually a good idea to leave the option **Perform automatically also subsequent operations** checked. | The text of the link in the **Query** item always shows a simplified representation of the query entered by the user, followed by the number of occurrences in parentheses.

| In **newer written corpora** (starting with [[[en:cnk:syn2020|SYN2020]] and [[en:cnk:syn:verze9|SYN verze9]]) it is possible to switch between two window display options: a default view corresponding to the [[en:pojmy:token|tokenization]] of the corpus, or the formatted text view preserving to some extent also the typographic form of the source text (this can be used, for example, to display poetry more clearly). | In **newer written corpora** (starting with [[[en:cnk:syn2020|SYN2020]] and [[en:cnk:syn:verze9|SYN verze9]]) it is possible to switch between two window display options: a default view corresponding to the [[en:pojmy:token|tokenization]] of the corpus, or the formatted text view preserving to some extent also the typographic form of the source text (this can be used, for example, to display poetry more clearly). |

| FIXME In the default settings, the concordance is ordered according to the order in which the search results (individual concordance lines) are found in the corpus (e.g. in the corpus [[en:cnk:syn2015|SYN2015]] the first texts are fiction, then non-fiction and finally journalistic). To má výhodu zejména v rychlejším vyhledání odpovídajících řádků. But in situations when the concordance is extensive and we need to acquire a representative sample (e.g. for manual analysis), je vhodnější pracovat s náhodně promíchanými řádky. Toho lze dosáhnout právě volbou **Concordance → Shuffle**. Výsledkem operace je promíchání jednotlivých řádek konkordance, které je sice náhodné, ale zároveň opakovatelné. | In the default settings, the concordance is ordered according to the order in which the search results (individual concordance lines) are found in the corpus (e.g. in the corpus [[en:cnk:syn2015|SYN2015]] the first texts are fiction, then non-fiction and finally journalistic). This has the advantage of making it quicker to find matching rows. Nonetheless, if the concordance is extensive, and one needs to acquire a representative sample (e.g. for manual analysis), it is preferable to work with randomly shuffled lines. This can be done with the **Concordance → Shuffle** option. The resulting shuffle of the concordance lines is random yet repeatable. |
| |
| We recommend that the option //Shuffle// be used automatically, which ensures that every concordance, before being displayed, is randomized in this way. Trvalé nastavení promíchávání konkordančních řádek lze nastavit v menu **Zobrazení → Obecné volby zobrazení** (volba //Automaticky promíchat konkordanční řádky//). Such an approach functions as an effective prevention against drawing incorrect conclusions from studying a sample of results which originate from an unrepresentative set of texts. FIXME | Using the Shuffle option automatically is recommended, as it ensures that every concordance, before being displayed, is randomized in this way. The permanent setting of concordance lines shuffling is achievable in the **View → General view options** menu (the //Shuffle concordance lines by default// option). Such an approach functions as an effective prevention against drawing incorrect conclusions from studying a sample of results which originate from an unrepresentative set of texts. |
| |
| The result of the operation **Shuffle** is the shuffling of the individual concordance lines. This shuffle is random, but it is repeatable. For every concordance there is a definite shuffle algorithm which causes the results after the first, second, third... //n// shuffle are the same after repeated trials on the same query. This guarantees the replicability of the corpus experiments and when the shuffled concordance is used. | If concordance lines shuffling is enabled by default, the Shuffle option will perform another random rearrangement. For each concordance, an explicit shuffling algorithm causes the results after the first, second, third... nth shuffle to match on repeated attempts on the same query. This guarantees the repeatability of experiments on corpora even when using a shuffled concordance. |
