Select two places to compare their vocabulary and semantic profiles
Two collection places, side by side. For each place you'll see a small map, the usual corpus metrics (poems, verses, unique lemmas, collectors), a distinctive vocabulary list, and a semantic-domain radar chart. The design answers: how does the sung vocabulary of one parish differ from another's?
Words listed for each place are ones that occur disproportionately often there compared to the corpus average (a log-likelihood distinctiveness score). They're not just the most frequent words — they're the words that would make a blind classifier guess this parish. Hover a word to see its gloss.
The radar chart shows how much of each place's verses fall into the major semantic domains (body, kinship, nature, emotions, actions, artefacts, …). A place with a big kinship lobe but a small nature lobe sings mostly wedding/family themes; the reverse might be hunting or work songs.
