WordHoard.
A philological tool. The WordHoard project is named after an Old English phrase for the verbal treasure 'unlocked' by a wise speaker. It applies to highly canonical literary texts the insights and techniques of corpus linguistics, that is to say, the empirical and computer-assisted study of large bodies of written texts or transcribed speech.

Way cool. Right now I can't think of a use for it, but I'm going to bookmark. One. Never. Knows.
