TY - CHAP U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Fankhauser, Peter A1 - Knappen, Jörg A1 - Teich, Elke T1 - Exploring and visualizing variation in language resources T2 - Proceedings of the ninth international conference on language resources and evaluation (LREC '14) N2 - Language resources are often compiled for the purpose of variational analysis, such as studying differences between genres, registers, and disciplines, regional and diachronic variation, influence of gender, cultural context, etc. Often the sheer number of potentially interesting contrastive pairs can get overwhelming due to the combinatorial explosion of possible combinations. In this paper, we present an approach that combines well understood techniques for visualization heatmaps and word clouds with intuitive paradigms for exploration drill down and side by side comparison to facilitate the analysis of language variation in such highly combinatorial situations. Heatmaps assist in analyzing the overall pattern of variation in a corpus, and word clouds allow for inspecting variation at the level of words.
