Resumen de The visualization of dialect data with VDM

Edgar Haimerl

• Visualization of the results is the final and essential step in dialect data analysis. For geographically dispersed data such as dialect data, colorful maps have long been the standard of visualization. The focus is on polygon maps, which can be used to represent contiguous areas particularly well. The Dialectometric visualization of script data is quite similar to the visualization of data from dialect atlases. For this reason, the VDM application (Visual DialectoMetry) can be used for the analysis of text documents from the DocLing1 corpus with few modifications. After a short tour of the visualizations in VDM and an explanation of the data structure, the focus of this paper is on these modifications and the new features which are currently being added to VDM. This new version of VDM will be better suited for scripta data and will streamline the generation of maps for VDM.
