Corpus-driven exploration of idioms can help to specify and enhance available data on idioms and their variation. In case of widely used idioms the amount of corpus data can be however challenging for a researcher. The manual analysis of thousands contexts is time-consuming and therefore questionable. The solution may be to create a tool that conducts an automatic analysis of contexts with idioms and provides structured data about their variation, in this way facilitating the work of the linguist. The development of such a tool is described in the master paper.
