Whenever we hear an unusual word, we right away open the dictionary to see what it means. However, simply reading the definition of a term doesn’t help us to understand its proper meaning. One has to see how words are used in context, in order to fully grasp the concept.
Exemplar is a neat little tool that does exactly that. Just enter any word and Exemplar will fetch examples from peer-reviewed published literature so you can see the words in context. You can click on any of the results to view the complete article. Exemplar also provides stats about the usage of the term including the popular fields and top countries where the word has been used.
