We will describe the theory behind the methods, and why we developed them. We will also provide examples of how they are used for visualising and exploring corpora belonging to different genres, e.g. parliamentary corpora, patient organisation periodicals and texts about climate change. =================================================== We also plan to arrange some kind of social event in the evening - more details to come!
