NEPHOLOGICAL SEMANTICS: Using token clouds for meaning detection in variation linguistics KU Leuven
The increasing importance of corpus data in linguistics creates a need for appropriate methods for retrieving semantic information from corpora. In the project proposed here, existing computational methods of distributional corpus semantics are further developed in the form of a meaning detection approach based on token clouds, i.e. clusters of distributionally similar attestations of words or expressions in a multidimensional vector space.
