The project "Visual Analysis of Language Change and Use Patterns" is an interdisplinary project at the University of Konstanz between the Lingustics (Prof. Miriam Butt) and the Computer Science Department (Prof. Daniel Keim). The aim of the project is to analyze patterns of language change and use via the combination of linguistic analysis and novel visualization techniques in order to uncover information about language change, genetic relationships between languages, and variations in language use across time.
