This session will follow up on the approaches discussion in previous sessions on computational lingustics and using treebanks to present a third digitally assisted or “distance reading” method to text analysis. We will begin with an introduction to the Voyant Tools suite, and a discussion and demonstration of its use for analysing texts and corpora visually. We will then move to a discussion of visualisations of text and data more generally, including research and communication issues, and round off with a discussion of a few interesting examples of visualisations.
