LingVis – Visual Analytics for Linguistics - Miriam Butt

This volume collects landmark research in a burgeoning field of visual analytics for linguistics, called LingVis. Combining linguistic data and linguistically oriented research questions with techniques and methodologies developed in the computer science fields of visual analytics and information visualization, LingVis is motivated by the growing need within linguistic research for dealing with large amounts of complex, multidimensional data sets. An innovative exploration into the future of LingVis in the digital age, this foundational book both provides a representation of the current state of the field and communicates its new possibilities for addressing complex linguistic questions across the larger linguistic community. About the Author Miriam Butt is professor of general and computational linguistics at the University of Konstanz. She is coeditor of Intelligent Linguistic Architectures: Variations on Themes by Ronald M. Kaplan and coauthor of A Grammar Writer's Cookbook, both also published by CSLI Publications. Annette Hautli-Janisz is a postdoctoral associate fellow at the University of Konstanz. Verena Lyding is a researcher at the Institute for Applied Linguistics at Eurac Research in Bolzano, Italy.
