Hello Davidd! 
I didn't manage to understand your idea, could you please present a step-by-step example with a single word of the B language, without using Python?

Only the first step involves looking at individual vords, so let me try and explain that.
take the word "qokeedy" as an example.
now everywhere it appears in the text (or section under investigation) write down and count which vord comes before "qokeedy" , call these the beforevords and which vord comes after it, call these the aftervords (haha).
next do the same for all other vords in the text, giving each vord a group of beforevords and aftervords. 
in the next step compare for all vords in the text the beforevords/aftervords group to the beforevords/aftervords group of "qokeedy"  to see how well those groups overlap. the more they overlap the higher the score between this vord and "qokeedy".
after doing all this we see that "qokeedy" scores well with the following vords: 'qokeey', 'qokey', 'qokedy'
we add these 4 vords to an initial vordgroup. That means that we combine the beforevords/aftervords of those individual vords, basicly threat them as if they were all the same vord in the text. 
the hope/assumption is that all of these vords perform a simular grammatical function. maybe they are all adjectives, usually coming before a noun, after a verb.
think "pour cold water" "fetch hot water" "pour green water". 

let me know if this clarifies it for you
